Xbox 360s die sometimes. It’s an established fact. The older models, and sometimes even newer ones, often succumb to the dreaded Red Ring of Death. And, if your particular console is no longer under warranty, you may just find yourself with a very expensive white or black brick.

Artist Alexis Vanamois has created something to help those who’ve experienced such a loss – a RROD coffin. This coffin, which was first highlighted by PC World, is a very stylish and somber, black container. It has specially crafted holes to place both your Xbox 360 and controller, and a RROD symbol on the top. Classy. Little satin pillows to put under the console and controller would be a nice touch, but I’m sure you can do that on your own after you buy one…
