Clicky - Direct link Thanks Oscar

It seems that some power cords are faulty… check if your XBox is affected.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp., the world’s largest software maker, said on Thursday it will recall 14.1 million power cords for its Xbox video game console after a defect gave some users minor singe burns and scorched carpets.

Robbie Bach, chief Xbox officer for Microsoft, told Reuters the recall covered all Xboxes made for continental Europe before Jan. 13, 2004, and units made for the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003.

It’s all good for me because it said I didn’t need to order one.  I was kinda hoping it would say I had to just so I could experience these life changing new power cord events.

Got my replacement cord today.  What am i suppose to do with the old one?  Can I keep it for other appliance that use that type of plug?  Or is it not safe at all?

I just threw away my old one. It’s a REPLACEMENT cord after all.  😉
