Either I slept through physics or MS is making up excuses. Thats like saying if you have the 360 plugged into a power strip that the other devices on the strip are going to draw too much power away from the 360. I dont own a 360 but unless it has an external power supply (between the wall and the Nyko device) you can use high school physics will disprove this hands down.

That's exactly how it works. The power supply is in the "brick", which the intercooler sits between it and the console. And I can atest to the brown scorching. When I finally pulled the unit off, it was stuck to the 360. The plastic in the power slot had melted to the 360. When I pulled it off it broke off the black square from the 360. Damn Nyko. Oh well, 360 still works, I just hope I don't have to send it back in the future.

Your example wold be valid if this device plugged in BEFORE the power was converted to the precise amount that was designed to power the 360, by drawing the power afterwards it'll change the calibrated power levels, and my add fluctuations and spikes that were being filtered out causing issues.
