A U.S. Marine in shades stands in front of the camera, holding an Xbox 360. âThis is how you fix the Red Ring of Death for Xbox,â he says. A pistol protrudes from the screenâs bottom.
âThanks Microsoft for making such a brilliant machine.â The camera pans across a make-shift firing squad, five or six Marines strong. The troops unload on the Xbox 360. One Marine screams, âFuck you, Microsoft!â
The camera cuts to a first-person-shooter angle as a pistol is fired.
Whatâs left of the Xbox 360 is strewn about a decimated crate. âHey Xbox, thanks, hope you can refurbish this shit,â says a Marine.
The video seems to date from 2008 on ballaassmofoâs YouTube Channel, but appeared on a number of website over the weekend. The Red Ring of Death was a hot topic for gamers a few years back, but Microsoft has worked to improve its hardware failures and increase quality.
Question to our Marine readers: are you all allowed to do stuff like this?
