The credability of the article is something I cannot confirm, but the reader comments were enough to scare me into taking mine off. *shudder*

Old news but yeah I yanked mine off the second I saw it burned the power cable input

You guys were actually sucker enough to buy one of those things? I can't believe so many people buy into the whole over heating thing.

That's how they hook people into buying worthless 3rd party junk. The moment I walked into my local EB and that thing was out the guy tried to push it on me using the whole, "There's an epidemic of 360's over heating! You can extend your consoles life by using this." too bad I'm not an idiot.

Sad thing is I trust Best Buy cause they've always helped me and served me well. Now I work for them <_< Lucky me the guy who did sell me the 360 got fired. No clue why but when I mentioned it today at work they told me he was fired haha. Good stuff.

It works fine until it wrecks your power cord input. That's the whole point.

Mine actually got hotter with the thing on. It runs alot cooler without it and for some reason I download from XBL twice as fast.
