The Weazul the Kotaku mole first sent word of the 360's melted hard drive last week, now he follows up with pictures of the damage. This is what happens when you put a strong light way too close to a 360. Kinda makes me want to cry.

My earlier post explained how this came to be:

Apparently, one broke after just a day of use. The other died after some genious thought it would be cool to light it up and put a lamp right next to it, perhaps even in the case. The heat from the lamp apparently melted the case in one place and warped the harddrive. Ouch!
