RIP XBOX

well last night during a game.my xbox decided to get a little warm.well very warm in fact so warm it melted the power cable this causing it to short.as a result of this the laser in the disk drive just stoped dead wrecking my copy of battlefield 3 so its off to pc world today to see what they say.it also cut the power in the house.the xbox gets plenty of air. the bang made me jump lol it was like a bomb going off

on further inspection this morning it has also burnt my digital optical cable.and my ethernet cable.at this time i dont know if my headset is working because of the optical cable been burnt is ok or my wired controller.will know a little later.not looking forward to taking it to GAME in your as they are not the best people to talk to
