Forums - Microsoft Discussion - What if it wasn't Red? or a Ring?

Threads are still popping up about Red Ring of Death, either claims that it is still happening, that's it's been eradicated entirely, or just that it never should have happened in the first place.  It'll probably be a good year or two before Microsoft is able to shake off the backlash of that whole incident.

The question that I'm curious of is if RRoD would have been as quick to catch on if it had been some other shape or color that came up.

 

Green Bar of Death?

Purple Pentagon of Death? Pink?

Indigo Trapezod of Death?

Blue-Murder Triangle? 

 

What other possibilities do people think might have had a shot at fame, or perhaps allowed the whole incident to soar under the radar because of how awkward it is to say? 

 



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

lol. I am SuperChunk and I approve this thread.



that would only case the dreaded rsod. the red square of death



I wonder what would have happened if there had never been a hardware problem. What would fanboys of other systems have used to sling mud at the 360 (especially in 2007)?

 Only thing I can think of is lack of sales in Japan.
