Leo Laporte Suffers His Final Red Ring of Death; “PS3 FTW”

Some of you may remember Leo Laporte from his time hosting The Screen Savers on Tech TV, back before they were absorbed into the new, bigger, more manly G4. Since then, he’s also been the host of Call for Help and The Lab, and is generally an all-around nice guy who knows his stuff when it comes to computers, gadgets, and things.

But apparently, even his patience has its limits. Today, he posted the following unfortunate news to his FriendFeed:

“Second Red Ring of Death on my Xbox360. Definitely not heat this time – it’s freezing. What junk.” — Leo Laporte

Ouch. Coming from Leo, that just seems especially harsh.

He added the following in the comments:

At this point I don’t even want to get it fixed. PS3 FTW.

Nice. I wonder if Microsoft is going to try to sway him back (perhaps with a new Jasper unit), or if they’ll just write him off as a lost cause and continue counting the millions Halo 3, Call of Duty, and Gears of War are bringing in.
