Valve poke at Xbox 360's heat problem in Portal?

Here is an image from Portal which one gamer thinks is Valve's way of having a cheeky joke at Microsoft's expense in regards to widely documented Xbox 360 overheating problems. The image shows something which looks similar (not identical) to the innards of the Xbox 360 with a saucepan on top of it.

Copy-paste the picture's URL into your browser, hit enter. Then it'll bring up the logo again, but just hit refresh and it should show the pic.

nice catch i would say its a knock since i mean its not like thats not a common known issue and i mean what other point could they be trying to make? They can't afford a stove or microwave?

Its just a PC, and the pan is sitting on the CPU's HSF. And PCs have had just as much problems with overheating that the 360 has (see: Pentium 4 and Athlon XP). Luckily PC gamers have the ability to fix overheating before it becomes a problem.ProudLarry

Mine is the same way except I usually keep it in the oven on broil with an industrial strength hair dryer blowing directly on the heatsink.
