Other than pedantry, I've never had the red ring of death - apparently loads of people were getting it because it's also the warning for if you haven't got the power plugged in correctly.

I'm not that fussed
From what I've seen it mainly happens when people are primates with their consoles, pulling the power brick out and throwing faeces at it and such.
Knowing my luck I'll turn it on this evening and it'll be broked.
