Hallmark's LED Xbox 360 Ornament Captures Halo Theme

The LED ornament for Xbox 360 from Hallmark features the Halo theme. Andrew Liszewski, a senior reporter who has been covering gadget and technology news since 2006, has been passionate about electronics since childhood. The soundtrack of Halo 3 may soon become a classic, alongside songs like "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Deck the Halls." You can decorate your Christmas tree with the new Xbox 360 Keepsake ornament from Hallmark, now available in the Hallmark online store and on Amazon for $28.99.

When the ornament's power button is pressed, the console startup sound plays, along with the track "Behold a Pale Horse" from the Halo 3 soundtrack, which includes elements of the Halo theme, according to IGN. The replica of the Microsoft console stands 3.25 inches tall (the Xbox 360 was released in November 2005) and showcases details that make it appealing for the Christmas tree. It comes with a mini-controller that is constantly tilted at the base of the console.

The ornament is powered by three button batteries, allowing you to press the button as many times as you like. When the button is pressed, the light glows green. While green and red are often associated with the Christmas season, it does not create a Red Ring of Death. However, Microsoft does not shy away from creating merchandise featuring this error.
