Now in the news of hilarity. In the XNA area of Microsoft's GDC '08 booth Blip.tv caught one of the playable consoles had suffered from the red ring of death. We suppose it fell into that 16th percentile. It's not as embarrassing as it sound though. The room was only filled with game developers, press and executives all armed with cameras and the internets to blog the occurrence. Oh wait. Yeah, that's not good.

Just putting this out there...
"Ironically, the maker of one of the consoles being blamed for cutting into the PC's market share is also on the PCGA's board. After spending billions on launching and promoting the Xbox 360, Microsoft has joined the board as part of its re-invigorated PC gaming initiative, Games for Windows."
So let me get this straight... Microsoft is now calling its own system out and wants to see the PC come back... Hmm...
I guess they want to go back to making OS's that don't run properly. Come on. If VISTA wasn't a sign on how the 360 was going to run... I don't know what to tell you... Although, It sucks for those who were struck with the RRoD.
