He didn't actually die.

I was referring more to Darwin Awards in general than this kid getting one here. You are correct.

I think I've seen a guy do this with a toaster once.

The toaster was over-heating?

I doubt it, His girlfriend broke up with him, and he was too much of a pussy to shoot himself.

Hmm Water to cool down electronics.

He put the power supply thing in the water, not the console.

He put the power supply in the water because the power supply was hot... The fan does not cool the power supply, which gets quite hot as well.

14.

the PS3 overheats faster than any other console i've ever seen. my friend Cole has one, and it is T3H SUCK.

My 360 blows out hot air, but the supply and console don't get extremly hot at all, just gets some warm...And I live in a hotter environment.

How long do you guys even play the 360 for? More importantly, how long was he playing it for.

Depends on where you get hit with it. If you have enough voltage, you'll get a current, say, across your heart. Water and other things could also lower your skin's resistance and such. Blah blah electrical stuff blah.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ate a box of resistors before it happened. Also, paint chips.
