Microsoft commemorates the Xbox 360 death ring with a poster: tribute from a historic fact

If you have acquired an Xbox 360 back by 2005, you may remember that time for a fear that spread throughout the community. A failure in the system that, called as the death ring, began to affect the first productions of this console. Now, looking back, we see this situation as a crucial moment in the development of Microsoft in the field of video game, and that is why the company has wanted to reference this problem in one of the chapters of its documentary Power On: The Story of Xbox.

The high demand for Xbox 360 by the public was found fully with a alarming error that affected the first consoles taken to the market, which led to a critical situation in the company. All this is passed water, but Microsoft has learned from its past actions and, therefore, wants to remember this fact with a poster dedicated to its death ring.

And it gives the opportunity to the players to join this tribute by selling said poster for $24.99, because the defect goes beyond an anecdote and is already part of the history of Xbox. After all, his document Power on aims to exhibit the lights and shadows that have accompanied Microsoft from his first immersion in the universe of video games.

The documentary, which can be seen free of charge, travels some key points in the history of Xbox, such as its same foundation, the arrival of Halo or Nintendo's non-purchase. 20 years Dan for many battles, and we celebrate this milestone by remembering our first steps with the Xbox consoles, something you can read in one of the most personal specials we have shared.
