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.

That IS weird. Induction or halogen cooktop? He seems to have caught it just in time. I think the old style element type would've killed it.(nichrome) You should start a stupid X-Box hall of shame!

What an idiot! I really dont believe the story line though, why would it be on the stove to play Halo 3? The units stack up. And who is stupid enough to turn on the stove with a console right in front of you. I smell BULLSHIT!

xD maybe this is BS, but it still is the coolest looking thing I've ever friggin' seen.

I hope there was no pun intended in that.

That's $400 out the window. Sounds like the guy that tried cooling his 360 by dipping it, while running, into a large bowl of water.

my 360 hurts from seeing tht im crying wht a waste of a 360 wht a waste of a brain who would leave a xbox 360 on a stove

Sounds made up by me. They did it purposely to get some attention. And if this is totally real, these are the biggest idiots ive heard about rofl!!!

lol, wonder if they'll return it
