Default Xbox Fires

Im sure many people have heard stories about how Xbox's cause fires. Well, Microsoft finally issued a statement saying there is going to be a recall, I believe on a specific wire, for Xbox's made in October of 2003 and before. For more details on the recall you can go to the Microsoft website. I just thought I'd throw this out there for ya'll

EDIT

all the info needed is in the below website

I believe you are correct. Mine was built in 2002, so I placed an order to get one.

LOL, So I guess hyundai is'nt good since they have had recalls in the past right??

*sigh*
Man, XBOX is far superior in EVERY way to the PS2 - and you know this!
PS2 has more games, but only because it has been out longer ,...period.

So put that in your pipe and smoke it. laugh.gif:

I like both XBOX and PS2 The only reason i like xbox is because of Halo. But you know what PS2 is still the#1 best selling system out there. Their the same thing to me.

Does that mean if I were to go to a pawn shop and buy a used Xbox, I would get a new one if it met the recall requirements?

ok this is not a seatbelt not retracting the way it is supposed to, it catches on FIRE!! it would be the equivelant of the pinto recall on the tibby, nice try though..

IT also has BETTER games! btw its too late to use that cliche excuse, how long has the xbox been out? its had plenty of time to catch up.
