HAL 9000, meet Xbox 360

     Movies


Combine one part HAL 9000 problem (disobedience!) and one part Xbox 360 problem (Red Ring of Death!) and you'll get the most cleverest shirt ever made!

If you're not careful, your 360 may jettison you out an air-lock. The red ring of death is just the first sign that something has gone terribly wrong and not only will you not be playing any games, your 360 may rebel and simply kill you.

The RRoD t-shirt is still in pre-order phase over on SplitReason but should be out in the next week or two. What I really want to know is this: Why did it take so long for someone to make this mashup between 2001: A Space Odyssey and the Red Ring of Death problem until now?!

[Thanks, EternalDarkWing -- And while you're over at SplitReason, be sure to visit the DESTRUCTOID store of course!]

That is absolutley amazing on so many levels I'm almost going to buy it. That's an incredible amount of praise for a broke reporter.

The only thing that can rival it is the "How many xboxes must die" design.

It was only about time before they started rolling out the red ring t-shirts on the interwebs!

*laughs hysterically into his headset while playing Warhawk*

They might want to make a t-shirt that takes a jab at Sony before the Xbox fanboys show up. Shouldn’t be too hard...anything involving Ken Kutaragi should do the trick...

Hahaha. This is so bad ass. You know what'd be the ultimate? Seeing Major Nelson with this. Someone should mail him that shirt.

Ask and ye shall recieve. It's a wallpaper version I put together, 1280x800. You high-tech kids can resize it if you need to. Admittedly, it's not the best, but it's the best that can be done with such a small image.

Totally hilarious. and so true.. i might lay off microsoft if they do a total recall and offer money back and fix their console.



what i would like more, is for microsoft to just stick to software.. and make games on the wii and ps3..
