I was just plugging stuff back into my 360 and i touched the silver part of the VGA cable that goes into back of the console and got like an electric shock from it :| Was quite strong as well!

Ouch not good.

Was it connected to the TV at the time? It happens sometimes when connecting things up. You should always make sure things are off when you do mess around with them, just in case, as that static discharge can cause damage.

LOL this is true

Ive done it many a time, never learned from it though

The cables do hold charge, expecially if their plugged into the tv and your tv's switched on.

I sometimes get a shock off USB leads when I plug my phone in to sync, no biggie.

This often happens to me when I'm testing my graphics card for example (reseating it) and have to keep replugging the VGA cable. I get it from my satellite cable as well which plugs into the PCI card.
