There was an actual case of a man dying while playing a different game, in this case a MMORPG, at a Korean internet cafe. Here's a link if you want to see the story I read http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3146272
I've yet to hear about anyone dying from overplaying a console game though, and thankfully so.

Dang man !!! but 50 hours would the doctor have work

Yeah, this game was made in and is hugely popular in Asia (in Japan).

Its so wildly popular in Japan, they made it so that Square-Enix must release it on a Sunday. Its to prevent kids/people from skipping work or school.

Wow @ releasing the Dragon Quest games on Sunday's to prevent skipping school. What an event!

It's a sad thing that your adventures have ended here
