A common occurance between Xbox 360 owners. Caused because Microsoft was too quick in building their console, resulting in cheap software. The worst is when the top right is not lit, meaning software failure. Many websites recommend you fixing it yourself, but this is highly unrecommended, due to tampering and resulting in loss of warranty. Do not listen to these people! They don't know how to fix nothing!
Person 1: Man! The red ring of death for the second time!
Person 2: Just twice?! You're lucky! I've seen it nine times!
Person 1: Microsoft sucks donkey ba***!

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.

Red circle that covers 3 lights around the power button on an Xbox 360 that signifies that the system has overheated and must be shipped to Microsoft. In other words, go commit suicide.
