"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.

Man, if he's just that stupid. He deserved it. :/

More importantly, was the xbox alright?

This is why i wouldnt use a water cooling system for my PC, its just un-natural :p

14 years old and not understanding that an 360 in water isn't a good idea...?

He deserved it if he's that stupid.
