Overheating Xbox 360 Nearly Kills Teen

ImageOh boy. Apparently, a 14 year old boy was having trouble with his overheating Xbox 360, which would shut off every 5 minutes. The boy went on the Internet to find some tips on how to cool off his console.

The mom left him alone for a little while and when she came home, he was lying on the floor unconscious. The boy had attempted to cool the Xbox 360 by wrapping the console in a plastic bag and submerging it in water.

End result? Naturally, he was shocked unconscious.

The mom found him and called 911. The boy suffered minor burns to his right hand and foot, which is lucky, as he could’ve done a lot more damage to himself.

Wonder if the Xbox 360 is okay too…
