Sure, you’ve heard the horror stories of faulty Xbox capability cables sparking up fires in homes, but it seems the latest case involves the aforesaid console’s successor: the Xbox 360. According to Little Rock, Arkansas fire division captain Jason Weaver, a 360’s capability cord was to blame for a blaze that injured no one (thankfully) but caused some $100,000 in property damage. Mr. Weaver asserted that the ability supply was likely crammed in a tight spot

with no “space to dissipate heat,” and while we’ve certainly seen no shortage of overheating Xbox 360s, that marks the first date that we’ve seen high temperatures wreak havoc on more than just the machine’s internals. Here’s to hoping that isn’t the start of a dreadful trend.
