360 causes fire?

I dont have a link, but I just saw this on G4,a child was playing 360 then a fire broke out. Kid dies and parents sue Microsoft. Microsoft blames the family saying "they knew the risk"!? WTF!!!!!! Has any one else heard of this?

no

That happend with the Xbox... but not the Xbox 360... as far as I know... GundamGuy0

my bad, G4 didnt say which.

I heard about it, not as bad as the guy that killed his kid cause she knocked the system down......

Oh my god Microsoft does evil things , they kill a child with their defective hardware!

And halo3 wont make the situations any better...

There is one story about a guy who was obsessed with Devil May Cry. He called himself Dante and one day he burned his house down to kill his family so that he would be adopted by a rich family. He killed his sister, but the rest of his family survived.

So sad.

Um, if so I can bring it with me on my camping trips......

Yeah I saw it on Engadget. I saw the gist of it Microsoft blaming the parents for the misuse of the 360. But then the 360 is a walking time bomb ready to explode because of overheating problems.

100% defective 360s due to heating problems, imagine if there was an added defect where the heat sensors fail to detect the overheating... Boom! There goes the Processors, and they can go on fire.

i saw that to!! but i was reading it

You guys act like Sony didn't recall millions of batteries for...what was that they did? Burst into flames?

I think we as a population have already accepted that the chance of dying in the most horrible way possible is a small sacrifice to pay for spreadsheets and Gflops.

Are you going to stop using technology because a few people die? Because if so, man, y'know your moral superiority... it's a little late.

I doubt it was the XBOX that caused the problem. Most likely bad wiring or electrical outlet. Thats terrible though.JDW_games

It was a problem with the Xbox... more then one fire resulted from it... they had to recall the power supply cables for some of the Xbox models.
