must have left the slices of bread in too long.

hahaha

So this Xbox 360 was spewing smoke but there was no flame? Are they sure it wasn't the owner converting the piece of crap into an ashtray? A more worthy cause for a console so crippled

Reminds of republican media/talk radio, when they see Dems doing good then they dig/use the Bill Aires fud etc out of desperation.

*waits for more RROD and 360 hardware being maxed out posts*

lol, thats gotta be the funniest news ever

For your next Camping Trip,I advise you to bring along your Xbox 360 for Warmth at Night

MSDF

out in full today

The Xbox 360 is indeed the Star of Dancing with the Flops

first of all this report says xbox console not 360 and i do remember along time ago the original xbox had a recall on its power cables you could send yours in and microsoft would send you back a new one and i do remember some of the xboxes in the past actually caught on fire because of this.thank goodness no one got hurt though.

The xbox should have a warning label or something.

Ovens do blow out smoke once in a while you know.

LOL LOL

Because the original xbox didn't start on fire! 360s are just overheating dumpster diver consoles.

It would just burn down.

These types of incidents happen all the time not just to the xbox a psp exploded in a 12 year olds pocket back in feburary its not limited to one console search the net and im sure you'll find some stories of some kind of exploding game system or even the stupidest of all people actually killing or robbing others for their game system people aren't stupid for buying any particular gaming system its just that crap happens ya know and hopefully no on gets severely hurt on these types of problems.heres the site for the exploding psp http://www.clickondetroit.c...

speaks with an italian accent
"that's a spicy meatball!!!"

any1 know if it was a 360 or xbox1?

but seriously, i don't care how much they drop the price on the 360, until it becomes less than 5% def i wont buy it. 360 Games are lacking anything special, and all their best is multiplat (RE5, Fallout3, FF13)

Xbox 360 strikes again.

the best tool for any arsonist ;p

...Oh dear.
Another house bites the dust. O-o;

I will *never* touch a 360 until all the problems are fixed.

lol this is funny-but seriously, if its the 360's fault, MS better cover this...

Scratching Cd's to RROD to ........ BURNING DOWN HOUSES. I wish I had an xbox

"“There was no actual flame, it looked like an electrical short. The firefighters let the smoke out and problem was solved,” he said." Hm. That stuff happens all the time. No matter if it's an xBox or not. Just like the firefighter said in the story..

"“It’s no different from your TV, just unplug your electric stuff when you are not home.”"

I always see you on here. I guess you like the PS3. Whats your favorite PS3 game?

.

lololol

PMSL This is PS3 gayness at its finest, for a start off it sounds like an xbox 1 and i wonder, how long did it take the eejot to find this on the website? i bet you spend an entire day looking for this you sad loser, trying to make out theres some epidemic that x360's set on fire and sh1t, i bet these people over loaded their plug sockets as well.
pathetic

"THE XBOX 360 Season"

could of been a short aswel come on once heard of the one dude, he had a PS3 and his dog took a piss on it and blew the whole thing lol now thats classic why doesnt anybody write articles about those kinda stuff

We all know the 360 is the most reliable pice of home computing. The PS3RD is considered a fialure, not even worth pluggin in in the first place!

Let's take a look at this articLe...,

"Cochrane Fire/EMS responded to a report of smoke in the basement of a house a few days ago. After some investigation, they confirmed the source of the problem was an Xbox contained inside a cabinet"

Now this is the key sentence in this article...,

“It’s no different from your TV, just unplug your electric stuff when you are not home.”

If you read the instructions on any piece of electronics, it specifically tell you to "KEEP IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA"!!!

@Wit_Wolfy : Because it never happened wtf?

Don't leave crap plugged in while your out or have a turkey cooking in the oven while your out (which should be common sense in the first place).

....bit of a flaming thread, I guess Sony fans, wait sorry its NOT all Sony fans, some of them do have respect for other consoles, and they are the ones i respect back. Its the retarded Sony 'fanboy' losers that have nothing better to do than post crap in this thread. Enjoy losers. To the 360 fans, it isn't worth trying to even argue with these idiots fanboys.

XBOX is set to destroy the world! ROFL

Wow, not even 24 hours before the public can snatch up a 360 for $199 and this article pops up. This article was meant to send the public a false warning that the Xbox360 console is a danger to our homes. The real message beneathe the mask reads " Parents and potential buyers of an Xbox360 console. Buy this console at your own risk because it has been known to be more fire hazardous than any appliance in your home. Buy a Wii or PS3 instead. There have been no reports (if any) that either of these consoles have caused fires or smoke damage. Both consoles may cost more, but why take a chance of a fire starting just to save $50-$200." Coiencidental article; don't bet on it. It's just another post made by someone who wants the 360 to fail. Pathetic.........

wow

I love this site. Any article on anything turns into a fanboy war.

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROKIN!

Seriously, though; I'm glad no one died from smoke inhalation.

Does this fall under the RRoD return policy?

it could be you next :)

whose surprised by this?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

Xcrap 3pleasefixme sucks! It burns down houses and gets RROD!

Cry more bots! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow just wow!

Jesus.... WHAT NEXT.

in bagdad :)

@AngryHippo: Oh and all of the 360 fanboys are saints? BITE ME.
