We recently reported on the curious cases of the fabled Red Ring of Death that has been plauging Xbox 360 owners that have recently purchased a Kinect Motion Controller back on December 30th. Now, Microsoft is firmly denying the allegations.  A Microsoft Spokesperson had this to say about the story once broadcasted by the loud speakers of  BBC .

“Kinect is designed to work with every Xbox 360 sold to date,  There is no correlation between the three flashing red lights error and Kinect.  Any new instances of the three flashing red lights error are merely coincidental.”

Coincidence or not, it certainly is sad that so many 360 consoles are still breaking down long after the Red of Ring of Death problems have been put behind the software maker.

I guess it’s time to upgrade to a new unit.
