Photographic Proof Of Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death Insider's Authenticity
Here is photographic proof that my source for the Xbox 360 Red Ring of Death interview is real, worked at Microsoft, and was a major engineer in The Xbox division.
These are photos of my source's Xbox "Ship It" awards. These are custom trophies that Microsoft will distribute to key players in their project. These aren't some mass produced tourist trinkets but are as authentic as a wax seal pressed with a royal ring. This major monolith award means that my source was a major player in the world of Xbox.
Update: I did a search on Flickr. looking for other Microsoft ship it award. It ends up there are several designs of the award over the years. However I did run into plenty of photos of photos of people mailing their broken Xbox 360s back to Microsoft to get fixed.
Some folks wanted proof that the source was real so here it is.

I recently took my xbox into a ups store. Mine died too. The clerk behind the counter says he gets at least 8 of them a week.

That award is for the original Xbox, not the 360.

So what if the award is for the original Xbox... He still had to be an insider to get it.
