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

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]

so the xbox was ON the stove in clear sight and someone turned the stove on? I don't believe anyone is that stupid......

"I don't believe anyone is that stupid......"

I agree. Something on my stove would certainly stop me from turning it on.

Unless you are a half wit, I believe the stove getting turned on was an accident. A lot of electric stoves can heat up with just a bump from, oh, say too many fat Halo idiots in the kitchen trying to hook the worthless thing up.

I cant believe anyone is that stupid, really!
And to turn it on too?

WOW!

[Dragod Posted Oct 8th 2007 7:54PM]

Now explain why the stove was on in the first place.

Not like you say "It's hot in here" and turn the stove on. And when plastic burns, doesn't it smell like crap, almost instantly?

and then he keeps his xbox 360 at the edge of the counter standing up. just like the anmimal abuse organization their should be a stop xbox 360 abuse organization that screens these morons and prevents them from purchasing a xbox or just about anything else
