Microsoft employees are embracing the holiday spirit by wearing an ugly sweater that humorously celebrates the infamous red ring of death, a major Xbox 360 failure.
The red ring of death was due to hardware failures caused by overheating and stress, famously leading to 1.15 billion dollars in repair costs for Microsoft.
The sweater, displaying both the red and green power symbols, is a lighthearted nod to a painful memory in Xbox history, now enjoyed by employees.
While the Xbox 360 suffered from major issues, subsequent consoles like the Xbox One and Series X|S have largely avoided similar hardware problems.
