if it was plugged in, it's probably boned. The only way to know for sure is to start it up and watch for flames.

Wow....You might want to try hitting it with a hair dryer....and to you people that think it'll get too hot... A hair dryer will do nothing compared to the system when running as far as temperature goes.

hmm the safe move would be to send it back to MS. I would personally turn it on though just because I am curious to see if it would work.

I'm not sure if I have too much experiance with the Xbox 360 but if you do not have warrenty on your Xbox 360 I would prolly open it up myself. If you do have a warranty with it go return it for a new one. Also you may want to lay it on the side, I do not know if this would help but there may be a build up of moisture in the Xbox having it come up through the holes may help it. I don't think it will turn ablaze but if it does, you always have your water bottle right there. :wink:

About a month ago, my girfirend poured a diet coke on my xbox. Luckly, the xbox was off. I waited about 50 hours before i turned it back on. I have not experienced any problems thus far (knock on wood). Therefore, since coke, an acidic solution, is probably more damaging than water, i would assume your system should opperational if you give it suffiecent time to dry.

turning it on would create heat, plus rice, plus water, = steamed rice.

Thats what you get for doing something dumb like that. Maybe next time you'll have learned to keep liquids away from your electronics.

An inch of water is nothing to worry about , since most of it would drain to the carpet. It's been two days, should be fine. Start it up, but if you hear anything unusual turn it off.

well im glad it works, it by all means should have
doesnt anyone take chemestry?
bottled water doesnt conduct electricity, there's not enough ions in solution, pond water and such does because of all the little things taht are in those waters.

Go ahead, set it in your bathtub!
well, maybe not, you could have some really dirty tap water. Better safe than sorry :p

Sounds like a nice meal. :)
