We've finally reached the holiday season and according to a story over on The Verge, Microsoft has internally released a new sweater. It's not just any sweater though, it's apparently a "Xbox 360 glitch holiday sweat".

This one features what's described as an "interchangeable module" that can produce the infamous 'Red Ring of Death'. It's apparently gone on sale exclusively to Microsoft employees "right now", and it's believed to almost be sold out.

If you're somehow not familiar with the 'Red Ring of Death' it was a serious hardware issue during the Xbox 360 generation that was known to brick consoles. According to the 2021 documentary 'Power On: The Story of Xbox', this issue resulted in Microsoft forking out 1.15 billion on free repairs for every system.

Although it wasn't a great time for the brand, Microsoft, as you can see, is still open to making a joke about it.
