It happened. The fatal “red ring of death” came in and swooped this writer’s Xbox 360 away. The system might have sensed the excitement over beating people online in Soulcalibur IV with Maxi-inspired “Carissa-foo” and shut down.

We gathered up a bit of info from around Kezins HQ and found out that half the staff has suffered from the dreaded “red ring.”

Will’s Xbox 360 crapped out after eleven (11!) months in use, Jesper’s is still up and running (or it should be, last we heard of him), and this writer’s took a dirt nap after a year and ten months of service. Juan? His can’t “red ring” because he doesn’t have one, but we’ll give his phantom system the benefit of the doubt and say it’d be living the good, gaming life.

What about you guys? Is your system still up and running? Or have you stayed away from the problematic Xbox 360?
