Apparently, the Xbox 360 is good for the heart.

This is an interesting article I just read.

Apparently, a parallel processing chip inside of the Xbox 360, can actually be capable of simulating heart abnormalities allowing a more extensive research on heart arrhythmia.

They also say that this method would be much cheaper to use rather than the current study methods.

All while being a couch potato! By the way, I'm fixing to buy one soon, not for health reasons though, lol.

wow would have never thought that.

Conditioning from the couch, that's brilliant.

Takes away more parental argument. I can see improved hand eye coordination through video games though. Even when I was a kid they said that about Pac-Man and Space invaders.

Hmm....political?



I'm thinking about the Wii, myself.


Course, I'm stuck in the 70s, so it's all wizardry to me!

But didn't you grow up more in the 80's?

I don't know how they study that. It's interesting how a Play Station can be good for the Heart. Unless there's some Cardiovascular in gaming.

Maybe there is I wouldn't know.
