Seems fishy. Nothing on the XBOX site or Microsoft site. -------------

It's all over the news. I think it's legit. But only recalling power cords - not the X-Boxes themselves. |

Ahh. Did a better Google search for info. Looks legit.

If someone really bought it, you most likely got ripped then. 
He probably fixed it for $5 worth of stuff from radioshack.

PS2=Cool Xbox=Cool They both are good systems with strong a weak points. Stop being soo damn judgemental.

My maps failt oload on my BOX all the time... Also, it says discs are dirty no matter what sometimes or just refuses to recognise games. You're all fools. PS2...XBOX...GameCube...all are far worse than the mighty....DREAMCAST!!! Seriously, the XBOX is far more powerful but PS2 gets most of the good games. And without Halo, XBOX would have been the failure that is gamecube. |

You need a new drive....as do I. Xbox has alot of good games besies Halo and halo 2. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six 3, Time Splitters 2 and alot more. PS2 is lame for FPS games anyway. All they really have is GTA and sports games. -------------

I like my xbox better than my ps2 but like metioned earlier they both have strong and weak points. To tell you the truth the only reason I still have my ps2 is cause Gran Turismo will never come out for Xbox. ------------- A-5 RT$380 Double Trigger$29.95 Flatline$149.95 16in All American$75 WGP 70ci 45 CarbonFiber$200 ETC = $1026.75 Whomping newbies who have Markers that cost more than my entire setup...PRICELESS |

You guys don't know what your missing...the 8 bit Nintendo. i have an X-box, and a PS2, and i love them both, but isn't there times where you just feel like going back to where many of the games you play on those new systems got thier start. Back to the topic. I saw something about this on the news the other day, my X-Box is working fine. ------------- It sucks being antisocial alone. |

I'm not too worried about my XBox bursting into flames. Only 1/10,000
experience this problem. If it did somehow burst into flames, I'd just
run downstairs, get my dad's fire extinguisher (Or my C02 tank), and
put it out. EDIT:: Haha, gas up my gun and start dry firing the flames. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules> |

Isn't there a cut off date of when the cords are safe? (Like 2003 or something)
