Quick advice needed

[boomhauertjs]

I'm thinking about picking up a 360, but I have a concern. None of the rooms in our house with TV's have a grounded outlet (it's a 1920's house). Do you think it's safe for the 360 and my house (overheating=fire?) to plug the 360 into an ungrounded outlet? We're planning on having some electrical work done in our bathroom in the next few weeks, so should I just wait until then and have another grounded outlet installed in my gaming room?

well anything thats running on an ungrounded outlet runs the risk of catching on fire, so if its not the 360 it would be the tv.

i dont think you have to wait to get a 360, but i would definitely upgrade those electrical outlets that you plug in your big ticket item equipment into.
