Red Ring Wrap-up

By Bill Tangeman | March 5, 2008

I’m on my second Xbox 360 and I treat it like a delicate flower so as to delay buying my third. It sits alone on a large shelf away from other electronics. Cool air flows around it from all sides, even from below. So imagine my horror when I opened up this Sunday’s Target ad to find that they’re giving away free system wrap with a GTA IV pre-order. Who are the geniuses that came up with this concept? How can it be a good idea to cover up a console that is notorious for heat related malfunction with black, heat absorbing plastic?
