Good boys and girls don't leave their Xbox 360s on the stove





Posted Oct 8th 2007 1:32AM by Ryan Block
Filed under: Gaming

As reader Ty claims, apparently the above Xbox 360 melting occurred when he and his pals, setting up to conduct a furious Halo 3 LAN match, ran out of space enough for an Xbox everywhere in the house except on the kitchen stove. Someone turns the range on and presto change-o: grilled Xbox. Ok, the story doesn't quite add up, but there's no denying the box is melted. And that leaves us preoccupied with wrapping our heads deciding what's more mind-blowingly ironic: that the melted console's owner cared enough about heat that he kitted his Xbox with a 3rd party cooling device, or that despite it all, this particular ring of death apparently didn't even brick the thing.

P.S. -Additional gooey meltiness after the break.

[Thanks, Ty]

It looks like it would still work. It looks as if only the casing has melted. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

"or that despite it all, this particular ring of death apparently didn't even brick the thing."

- I take it, that means it didn't brake?
