Xbox 360 is so horrible, kids are almost killing themselves.

[detrimental]

A 14 year old boy from North Carolina was nearly killed trying to cool his Xbox 360 on Sunday, which kept reseting every 5 minutes due to overheating. As FunTechTalk reports, the console used to turn itself off every 5 minutes, and the boy had read online that one of the ways to stop this was to try and cool the power supply. “I saw him put the cord on top of a box in the living room”, said the boy’s mother. “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”.

While his mother was away the boy had taken the power supply and wrapped it in plastic and tape. In an attempt to cool it off, he submerged it into a pan of water with the cord still plugged in. The boy had regained consciousness by the time paramedics had arrived. He was taken to the Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard where he spent the night.

I know myself firsthand that an overheating Xbox 360 can be frustrating, but submerging the power supply in water? Thankfully everything turned out OK... the lesson to be learnt? Electricity and water do not mix!

I think he was just joking with the thread title... :lol:
But man what a dumb-ass, he's like yr 9 and he still put electricity with water, that's just like sticking the knife in the toaster (but that's always tempting :lol: )

[whitemamba]

Wow, what a ****ing dumbass. This kid is probably going in to high school too. He needs be held back.

Ive never had any overheating problems with my 360, I just can't believe he used water to cool it. I would have used a lighter or maybe my finger (not seriously) but wow he deserves to get electricuted if he's that dumb.

That is the most retarded kid I have ever heard of that doesn't suffer from a disease.

Hell, even they aren't that challenged.

Even with Pokemon, Squirtle would get owned by Pikachu ANY day, for obvious reasons.

I make fun of my 10 year old brother for acting stupid and he's 100x smarter than this dumbass
