Trying to buy a 360 from Wal-mart (three strikes, you're out)

From joystiq.com:
[QUOTE]
The above video features one prospective Xbox 360 customer named Tim trying to purchase the console from Wal-mart.
His first attempt left him without a controller. He returned to exchange it for a second unit only to get the ring of death. He then ventured to Wal-mart a third time in exchange for yet another console and even powered up the system in the electronics department to ensure proper functionality. He took it home, and it wouldn't play games.

Your all wrong! These are returned systems from xmas that people either swapped their broken ones for new ones and/or modding gone bad! Walmart is very bad about putting returned items "as long as it looks sellable" back on the floor for sale. My story is this, I bought an apex dvd player back in 2001, you know the one that played everything, and the first one i got home didn't work and it had a dust ring on top of it like a cable box or book sat on it. The second one had a marker scribble on bottom of it, probably from a kid...it worked but i returned it never to buy electronics from walmart again!

The so-called "3 rings of death" is just how system tells you to CHECK the video connector cable. Had the same problem 2 weeks after I bought my 360. Wiggled the video cable, and it worked. It is the same way the old xbox would give a random color ring if it couldn't detect a connection to a tv or no cable was connected.
