A form of error message on the Xbox 360. The Red Ring of Death replaces the Ring of Light, the green circle surrounded the power button. The red lights indicate a sort of error message and the number of lights and placement of them mean different things. The worst would be three lights flashing, with the top-right not illuminated. In this situation, it means the 360 is suffering hardware failure.

Comparable to the Blue Screen of Death.
Not the red ring of death! Crud, according to the online instructions I need to send my 360 in for repairs.

1) Often abbreviated to RROD. Described the pattern of 3 LEDs around the power button when an Xbox360 has died. The term has become widely know to due the abundance of such a fault on the hardware. The "of death" part of the comes from blue screen of death, a fatal Windows error screen.

2) A stinging, raw rectum. This use of the term is usually in association with a strong curry or other rich foods which aggravate the intestines.
