Yeahhh, this is exactly what I was trying to say but couldn't find the words for. Selling off a huge hardware failure as "LOL remember this nostalsgia???" is just lame. Nothing more than that, but still lame.

make profit selling broken consoles, years late make profit from jokes about broken consoles
classic capitalist move

I mean, there's a scale about acknowledging shitty stuff in your past. At one end, you ignore it and never speak about it, and the other end you're directly profiting from it. I'm not sure you should be on either end of the scale.
I red ringed twice. Meh, no strong opinion one way or another but I understand people who are upset about it.
Some of you are WAY too sensitive and it makes me wonder how you handle the failures and struggles in your own life from people that's aren't your friends and family...
Like wow...some people only come here to be angry. It's something that happened and that they did correct. Microsoft didn't sell poisoned food...come on...like omg you paid some shipping costs and had to wait a few weeks to play some crappy game...so spoiled...

This had to take 1 minute to design.

Are you aware of how much money Microsoft had to spend to remedy the RRoD fiasco?
I went through 6 or so RRoD but I had 3 of the consoles, my Elite never had the issue though. Just an early characteristic (unfortunate) of an otherwise great console.
It's funny coz I wanted a 360 so bad 2006-2010 and feared getting it and then getting RRoD. Kept me from buying it for years. It was such a big deal then, tho now I wish I had just taken the risk and used the 3 year warranty they added
lmao, yes, you got us all figured out. We can't handle failures and struggles in life because we... think a tacky poster is tacky.
Poor Microsoft. 🎻
User Banned (1 Week): Platform Warring; History of the Same
I'm not offended but, I do think it says a lot about the history of Xbox that this is something they pay attention to when "celebrating" the brand. Like, it just shows there's not really much to talk about.
It's like if Sony had a poster for the PSN hack or something. Like, that's cool you remember it, and all, but, this actually sucked.

Considering that I had a 360 rrod at a time when great games were dropping and I had to buy a new console, this is beyond fucking stupid and probably one of the worst cases of trying to be "funny" or "cool" or "hip".
Maybe if it was for free, that's fine ... but selling it? lol fuck off.

I'd love this if they gave it away for free to all of us that had multiple fucking system failures requiring hours working with customer support.
One time they just flat out refused to fix mine. Didn't say why, just didn't and sent it back. I love a good joke but frankly this ain't it. Fuck off marketing department, the nerve to actually charge for this is something.

I never owned a 360 but I think it's pretty funny.
I wouldn't hang it up in my house, but it's a nice reference.
Edit: I would also like to see a PSN outage 2011 poster.
Edit 2: also maybe just a general Wii U one.

Ok, this makes more sense..but still, lol.
Agree.
Talk about it, acknowledge it, learn from it. Great.
Selling a poster about it....yeah....
