Oh, I had to laugh at this.
It was pretty funny when Windows 98 crashed during a demonstration way back in the day.
History repeated itself; a 360 red-ringed during the GDC. Live and onstage.
Well, at least its a known problem that MS has been working hard towards both fixing but taking care ofcustomers about. Hey, I'll take that 360 if I can get it covered by the 3-year warranty!
*sighs*
Too funny...
