The IT Chronicle

We’ve always assumed that we don’t notice the cold while we’re playing video games because we’re being warmed from within by the light of joy. But Jeff Ramos has dispelled our childish illusions on his blog, cheerfully describing how his Xbox 360 makes a fine space heater that helps to warm up one room of his chilly New York City apartment. Not the most serious reading, but it certainly warms the heart, doesn’t it?

We’ve always thought that the amount of heat put out by the 360 was a bad thing (especially when it melts its own brains from within), but don’t be surprised if crafty console makers spend as much time in the next generation talking about BTUs as GPUs.
