Microsoft surprised its fans again by creating a new “ugly” Christmas sweater. This time, it's inspired by one of the most memorable problems in the world of video games – the Xbox 360's “red ring of death”, according to WomanEL. This is not just a festive outfit, but a real symbol of the era, which evokes nostalgia in those who remember the years when a technical problem troubled the owners of the popular console.
As The Verge writes, a new sweater called Xbox 360 Glitch Holiday Sweater in traditional Xbox green with horizontal stripes, resembling the shape of a console panel. This design features a large interactive power button that glows green just like a real console.

In addition, the sweater comes with a detachable red button. It allows you to create the effect of the “red ring of death”, which became famous due to numerous problems with overheating of the console.
The sweater is produced in a limited edition and is distributed among Microsoft employees. It was also available in the company store, where it sold out instantly. The release of such an artifact commemorates an important page in the history of video games and remains an original and humorous way to honor the mistakes that have become a part of gamer culture.
