XBox 360 Cooks an Egg

[Mr. Analog]

This video shows just how hot the 360 heat sink can be; by boiling water with it and then cooking an egg on it!

Now that's hot!

I think they did similar demos on the old AMD Athlons, not surprised really, the thing has 3 CPUs.

My Macbook will get about 70C, so hot that i gotta have a pillow under it if i have it on my lap.

Why this guy didn't put tin foil under the egg is beyond me
One YouTube commenter said: Is it a coincidence that the acronym for Ring of flashing lights is "ROFL"? I guess the red lights are going to become infamous as an alarm for "Breakfast!"



A related video was this provocatively-titled one...
Microsoft is a liar!!!! "First tell the world that blu-ray is not needed, than come with a hd-dvd player. Microsoft says you dont need hdmi ( yeah right BS )and than says that every 360 game is 1080P ( Bull@%&# ). Just watch this movie."

Hmm...i don't see where you are saying they are liars?  They don't say every game is 1080p, the hd-dvd is a nice addon for the machine (wont be used for games) (and heck of a good price)(isnt requried, more of a valued added), and you really don't need HDMI, its just preferred.

[Darren Dirt]

I'm not saying.

The guy who posted the video is saying.



...It's all so complicated, I'm going back to Betamax...

I bet you we will find out more information about 360 after PS3 launch. Kinda the nice way of Microsoft kicking Sony in the nuts.

[Shayne]

Oh, like the fact it has support for 40 wireless devices?

[Adams]

Something to that fact.
