What I hate is the fact that they are blaming the 360 for when they should be blaming the idiotic kid or his parents I mean even I have a bit of common sense to NOT over play a game on PC / PS3, the max I have ever played a game CONTINUOUSLY was Team Fortress 2 for the first time 3 hours straight after the 3rd hour I exited steam and played daily for like an hour or hour and half and on the PS3 I played Dead Space 2 for 2 hours straight, after which I played an hour or so a day.

His parents should be the one to blame on NOT telling him to take a break from the console or he is old enough to realize that he is over doing the gaming thing and should take a rest. Seriously my 10 year old cousin has more common sense than this "20 year old" idiot.
Yeah lolz, even when I was playing Assassin's Creed 2 back in 2009 I never played for more than 2 hours at a time.I'd play for 2 hours and then go outside to stretch and walk around for 30 mins and then I'd continues for another 2 hours, Managed to rack up 10 hours of game time in none day just like that. :p

I can't go more than 4 hours at gaming without having a headache, amazing how people play for 16+ hours straight.

DHA KARACHI.
Maximum I've played is 4-6 hours.

Usually I go for only tow hours, have a break, check whats going on in PG, and return to my gaming session. This of course only happens when I'm playing a game I like. :p

Hmm...they say he died due to sitting in the same position for a long time. That way my granny should be the first one to go, why doesn't she get deep vain thrombosis. Seeing that she is lying on her bed all day long, I anot trying to kill her or anything :p just thinking. Trying to look for a conspiracy in all this.
 
once i met a person on playstation home he told me thaT he holds a record for being online on playstation home for continuous three day :mad: And i really saw him 2 continuous days online :S

its not the game or xbox or the blood clot that he died from..it was just his time to pass! 10 hrs of gameplay is nothing too much in today's gaming community, i have myself played for a little over 10hrs straight in world of warcraft many times, nothing really happens except that such gamers get a bit fatty, and that too can be easily avoided if u just take frequent rounds to the fridge and drink lots of water (which avoids blood saturation) and jump a little while the raid starts :p

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
