2008, Jake "Biggs" Turner, “Fix the Red Ring of Death! (without towels!)”, in The Best of Instructables, volume 1, O'Reilly, page 247:
If you no longer have a warranty on your Xbox, and you've gotten the dreaded Red Ring of Death ... there's still hope. The RRoD is displayed by the 360's "Ring of Light" when there's a general hardware failure.
2009 June 9, N. Patel, “Microsoft ends Xbox 360 RROD "coffin" program, still paying for shipping”, in engaget.com[1]:
Getting an Xbox 360 RROD was never any fun, but at least getting it fixed was easy, since a quick phone call would get you a pre-paid "coffin" in which to send the broken console back for repairs.
2009 September 2, Matt Peckham, “Xbox 360 ‘Least Reliable’ Console”, in pcworld.com[2]:
The good news for Xbox 360 owners? RROD failures appear to (finally) be in decline in 2009.
2016 June 1, Paul Tassi, “The Xbox One Just Cut Its Price And You Almost Certainly Should Not Buy One”, in forbes.com[3]:
Thankfully, the original Xbox One has not been plagued with RROD issues like the 360, so there’s no urgency for a slim to “cure” some endemic problem with the base model, but it still might be a much better system for not that much more money.
