    A thoughtful Joystiq tipster has sent us what appears to be either an ad snafu or clever marketing ploy by Target for an advertisement of an Xbox 360. In a picture for a $399 Xbox 360, the pictured console seems to be suffering from the dreaded red ring of death.

    There are lights around the circle, each quadrant will light up if you have a controller, so all four light up when you have four controllers. The lights are normally green.

    Red ring = hardware failure, that's why it's funny, the ad shows a broken 360.

    doesnt all 4 mean something small like power or video cable not plugged in right ?

    /edit: comfirmed here the 4 lights all on means the av cable is unplugged, so when they took the photo the console was plugged in and turned on(strangely) but the av was not connected - dont see whats so funny here
