Hallmark's Xbox 360 Ornament with Halo Theme

Celebrate the holiday season without fear of the notorious Red Ring of Death.

A Unique Holiday Addition

Adding a gaming twist to holiday cheer, the soundtrack from Halo 3 might soon find a place alongside festive tunes such as 'Jingle Bell Rock' and 'Deck the Halls.' This will be the case if you choose to decorate your space with Hallmark’s Xbox 360 Keepsake ornament. Now available on Hallmark’s website and Amazon at the price of $28.99, a quick press of its button plays the console’s iconic startup noise followed by approximately 20 seconds from the Halo 3 track 'Behold a Pale Horse' that cleverly integrates the Halo theme, as verified by IGN.

Craftsmanship and Details

Standing at 3.25 inches tall, this miniature version of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, launched back in November 2005, is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Despite its compact form likely getting lost amidst other ornaments, it includes a tiny yet perfectly fitting controller fixed beside the console.

Functional and Nostalgic

For enthusiasts who might want to ignite the magic repeatedly, this piece operates on three replaceable button batteries. Even more, the power button illuminates green upon pressing, elegantly fitting the holiday color scheme. However, unlike other Xbox-themed products, this ornament does not simulate the infamous Red Ring of Death.

Conclusion

With this ornament, not only do you get a nostalgic nod to gaming history, but also a fun addition to your holiday decorations. It makes for a perfect blend of gaming culture with festive celebration.
