...rheating any electronic device is never a good thing. The Xbox 360 has fans on it to COOL IT DOWN. When you purposely heat it up you run the risk of seriously damaging your Xbox. So try this at your own risk.

Don't say I didn't warn you, but hey, it was already broken right?

Nintendo Wii - All Play and no work

...ii, which may sound like we, that emphasize that the console is meant for everyone. It also gives an impression that two people are standing side by side. Thanks to the two lowercase "i". But nothing could pacify a group of video game developers who felt Revolution was more suitable than Wii. They too had strong arguments for that. But apart from reasons and arguments, if kept aside, one thing is sure.
