The Red Ring of Death (RROD) was the Xbox 360's way of telling you it was done for—three red lights around the power button meant a hardware failure. Basically, it’s the console equivalent of saying, 'I'm out!'

Red Ring of Death: 3 red lights on your Xbox 360's power ring, meaning it's bricked. RIP your gaming session.

I experienced the RROD firsthand. It’s the Xbox 360’s way of waving a white flag due to hardware issues—cue the sad violin for your gaming dreams.

RROD signifies a general hardware failure on the Xbox 360, often caused by overheating. Time to call Microsoft support or look into the warranty!
