That's exactly how it works. The power supply is in the "brick", which the intercooler sits between it and the console. And I can atest to the brown scorching. When I finally pulled the unit off, it was stuck to the 360. The plastic in the power slot had melted to the 360. When I pulled it off it broke off the black square from the 360. Damn Nyko. Oh well, 360 still works, I just hope I don't have to send it back in the future.
Then it makes a little more sense. But with this excuse then they are admitting to under engineering the device. If I decide to hook up a few USB devices why doesn't that interfere with the rest of the devices power? From the article it is saying that the device would power any USB devices so is there an internal power supply too? If so, what an under engineered piece of crap.
