    Wow....incredible....totally worth a thread of it's own...

    You know....I think maybe, just maybe, the Xbox being locked in that plastic case for hours upon end without any discernible airflow may have caused that ring of light...

    If a console has a problem with overheating, the last thing you want to do is lock it in a plastic case in the middle of a room full of sweaty geeks....

    Then again it could have been just a loose power cord...

    There was a RRoD'd 360 in Toys 'R' Us for months. The idiots there are too lazy to replace it. :p

    The ___ ___ of Death is a symbol of microsoft, maybe they should have a BOSD with a RROD as their logo xD
