Death by Xbox Game addict, 20, killed by deep vein thrombosis,Xbox addict ‘dies from blood clot’,The family of a budding computer programmer have on Saturday launched a campaign to raise awareness about the health risks of playing online computer games after their son died following a marathon session on his Xbox. A post-mortem revealed that 20-year-old Chris Staniforth — who was offered a place to study Game Design at Leicester University — was killed by a pulmonary embolism, which can occur if someone sits in the same position for several hours. Xbox 360 controller Deep vein thrombosis normally affects passengers on long-haul flights, but medical experts fear youngsters who spend hours glued to their consoles might also be at risk and have urged them to take regular breaks. Professor Brian Colvin — an expert on blood-related conditions — said it was “unhealthy” for youngsters to spend long periods in front of their consoles. “There’s anxiety about obesity and children not doing anything other than looking at computer screens,” he told The Sun. David Staniforth has now launched a campaign to warn other parents of the dangers. “Games are fun and once you’ve started playing it’s hard to stop. “Kids all over the country are playing these games for long periods – they don’t realise it could kill them,” he told The Sun.

@megafio It’s the fact that more 360 users are hardcore gamers as appose to ps3. I switched? from 360 to ps3 because just buying systems was costing me too much but I miss the competition.

@412magic Exactly, you played xbox and got used to getting wasted so much that you actually gained skill to? use against the less skilled ps3 players.
On PS3 i had a 3.10 k/d ratio for BF3, but now that i’m on Xbox i only have a 2.0
I’ve mostly been on xbox but i didn’t? have my xbox when BF3 came out, but i just had my sis’s PS3 so she got BF3 and i usually had 20 kills and 4-5 deaths per match. now on my recent switch to xbox it’s more of a challenge, but i get to play with friends again.
