| 326081 | 2005-02-18 02:10:00 | Due to some firesafety concerns...all xboxs made before 23rd october 2003 are being recalled....as 30 ppl world wide have been burnt including 1 in nz and some property damage...from cables. Microsoft are offering free replacement, by going to www.xbox.com or ring 0800 880 029 |

| 326082 | 2005-02-18 02:22:00 | Thanks for the heads up on this Chris. A good post, hopefully X-Box owners will take up the offer. It's only the power cords that are being replaced though. |

| 326083 | 2005-02-18 02:27:00 | I suppose if you're selling something at less than cost you'ld want the cheapest power cords you can get. ;) "Cheap and nasty" is often true. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 326084 | 2005-02-18 02:33:00 | Heh, maybe they are trying to advertise their machines as having "blistering hot" speed, and have the recalls to prove it.... | netchicken (4843) | ||
| 326085 | 2005-02-18 03:43:00 | I reckon it's a scam to get heaps of contact details so when the XBox 2 comes out they'll bombard you with advertising :) Power cord is cheap and easy to replace too! |

| 326086 | 2005-02-18 05:33:00 | Yeah, thats like 30 out of the 15 million odd who own an XBox.... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 326087 | 2005-02-18 07:15:00 | Would you much rather they didn't get replaced and more people get personal/property damage because of it? | Edward (31) | ||
| 326088 | 2005-02-18 13:09:00 | While Im filling in my personal details for Microsoft, I may as well save them the trouble of looking it up: I own 5 peronsal x86 PC's None run Windows My xbox doesnt run the MS dash My power cord still works, and if it catches fire, I'll laugh my ass off This is my address My DOB My IRD # My Drivers Liscence # And I prefer my Chicken McCheese Supercombo with no cheese, Coke - No ice thankyou Bill. ;) |

| 326089 | 2005-02-18 20:30:00 | Meh. Leave it to Microsoft to somehow make a power cable that can crash. |
