The most they'd be able to do is corrupt the firmware which would correct itself with a system flash. You can't overload someone electronically through the internet. This isn't the movies or some high tech device with actual power throttles that regulate the flow of electricity. They can DDOS your router (which is probably what he was threatening. It's the easiest thing to do) to reduce your bandwidth and make it unbearable to play, but your ISP (I think you said you have AT&T) would catch the massive increase and cut it off.
Thanks for putting my mind at east on the red ringing and frying. Now the DDOS is what the guy did this afternoon. He made good on his attempt to frig with me. But...Unlucky for him....
You see he did it...and as soon as I noticed what was going on I just went into my command prompt did a Ip release and then a ip reknew like a buddy of mine told me to do...And it ended as fast as it began and I have had 0 further problems...My buddy said in a nutshell i changed my ip basically or something along those lines im not to tech savy lol
