We recently reported on the fact that the new Xbox 360 slim model will no longer give you the dreaded ‘red ring of death’.
Well it now looks like the new ‘fail’ could be a ‘red dot of death’. This is obviously not any official term, the power light flashes in red when the unit overheats. The good news is that the unit pops up with an error screen to let you know that your 360 has overheated.
This was discovered by some fellow that recently purchased the new ‘slim’ and uploaded pics which you can see at the Neogaf forum. I dont think there is too much need for panic as some pics show that the console could have been to close to the tv stand enclosure that it was sitting in.
