The RROD Is No More

Microsoft has replaced the familiar Red Rings of Death (RROD) that signifies a catastrophic system failure. Until one of the new 360 Slims break we’re not really sure what the new error system is. Speaking with IGN Xbox 360 Microsoft Corporate Vice President Phil Spencer the system has a new way of reporting various errors.

“Now obviously, the box has a way to communicate to you if something has happened...but yes, three red lights are not part of our sequence of telling somebody something is wrong. Obviously if you look at the success rate of the original 360s, we're very proud of both the way the company stepped up to support the customers that we had as well as the success rate we have with the box today. I think we've learned a lot. That learning has gone into the development of this [new] box."

I guess this means Microsoft's planned RROD film will be delayed!
