WTF? 8O

I wonder if the PS3 will do the same thing. I mean, it looks like a George Foreman grill, so you'd think it should function like one. :P

Not surprising :D I read an Xbox 360 uses more power than an small fridge.

Yeah i read it outputs enough heat to heat a small home in the Ukraine.

I took the cooling fan off my 600 mhz athlon. It gets very hot. I think its rated at 85 C
so it may get that high when I fully load up the CPU. I took the sides off my computer so
I get natural airflow.

Typical Microsoft device... not only does it crash all the time, but it also is terribly inefficient. It probably generates all that heat crunching and processing all that bloated code...just like it's PC operating systems!! !
