After sharing his fears online through several forums, here at Destructoid and on Microsoft's official forums, all hope seemed lost. But nay, good sir, for as you can see in PacoDG's report, memories of Destructoid's very own Grim fluttered toward our hapless hero like a guardian angel.

According to what Paco recalled from Grim, as well as his first hand findings, it seems that a 360 suffering from the internal woes that cause the death ring may very well be cured of its ailments thanks to the healing power of ... towels. No longer just an annoying South Park character and a cruel armament against fat boys in the showers, it would seem that the humble towel has finally secured itself a place of worth in the history of man's great inventions. 

Simply wrapping your console in towels for a goodly amount of time appears to unlock a mystical healing magic buried deep within the cotton drying apparatus. How does it work? We're not quite sure, but PacoDG assures us it does.

Paco doesn't understand it. We don't understand it. But almost overheating your Xbox 360 would appear to fry whatever demons lurk within. Now perhaps if this method can be applied to medical science, we could change the world for the better. Terminally ill? Just wrap a flannel around your face for three minutes!
