"When I left to go next door he was playing a game but when I got back he was laying on his back on the floor and unconscious," she said. The console, wrapped in plastic and tape, was still plugged in. The kid has read online that he could keep his 360 from over heating by cooling its power supply. By the time the ambulance showed up, the boy had regained consciousness. Thankfully, when the ambulance arrived, the boy had regained his senses. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and suffered small burns on his hand and foot. Kids remember: No matter what the internet says, electricity and water are NOT friends. They're not even on speaking terms.
I lol'd at this one. Here's the link Just Add Water: Boy Fries Himself with Hot Hot Xbox 360 - Kotaku

Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360
Omerta, if you wish to believe the PS3 doesn't get hot, and wouldn't fry you if you tried to cool it off with water while it's on, then be my guest and try it, but the simple fact is that the PS3 is exactly the same in that matter, because incase you didn't know, the 360 doesn't actually have any heat problems, it does however have a problem with people putting it in confined spaces and then posting on the internet how the 360 has heat problems.
-
Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360
im perfectly aware of this, i put some games against the side of my ps3, partially blocking the fan, it got hot, i dont put the games there anymore. i was simply saying that i think the ps3 is the better console

Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360

Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360
So while you are aware of it, you still say it's another reason to get a PS3?
-
Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360
block the fan or put anything in an enclosed space and it gets hot. i dont have a 360 so i dont know if it does get uber hot, my ps3 doesnt seem to get overly hot so its all ok.

Maybe you should lay off the god damn insults to Americans. I am so sick and fucking tired of people posting "oh, americans are so stupid" "we are so much smarter than americans". Well, tough guy, if you're so much smarter than Americans than why do you continue to make such ignorant comments about Americans? The fact that you continue to say such things about Americans only goes to show how racially hateful you are of Americans.

Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360

How do you think mainframes and super computers where cooled back in the 1980s? :1:
Now they just hook them up to large freezing units. O.O

The original design of the x360 does have heat problems. The heat sink would get to hot, warp in shape slightly, detach from the chip, and cause them to fry. The result is the red ring of death.
Though the revised heat sink design that they came out with early this year fixed it.
But yeah. The biggest reason for the over heating is due to poor air circulation.
Also. The PS3 does produce a lot less heat. Even under a two hour run of folding at home.
And the PS3 is able to run under sauna conditions for prolonged time. Which did shock me.
Anyways this thread isn't about PS3 vs x360.
And that kid is so damn stupid. I couldn't help but laugh.
NoPeace - out

Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360

Wanna play with my wii ? ;)
the wii is in front due to its price , but i can assure you that those tables arent corrrect , while in some countries , the wii is at front on others they arent , it can be the xbox360 or the ps3 ( I doubt but i can dream )
1 example is in Portugal for example , on 150 Friends i can assure you noone has a Wii since well we dont like the games , 80% xbox360 and 40% ps3 ( some like me have both )
btw about the sauna , i can tell you that on a room at 30

Re: Boy Fries Himself With Hot Xbox 360
The Wii's price is bogus anyway, after i bought the component cable, lan adapter and Zelda i was 360 euro's lighter, for 400 at that time you had the premium pack with Forza 2, so the Wii was 10% less then the 360, not really impressive. Infact if you buy the Wii now and buy a game with the lan adapter (as it's standard in the 360) then it sets you back 330 euro, while i can get the Core version for 250 now leaving you with 80 euro for games.
Btw how do you get these heat problems, never had them, and mine has been on whole days at the hottest days with nothing cooling it down except it's own hardware.
