Video Game Players Recalled
Problems with wires could cause burns
 
 
 
(WSBT) The Microsoft Corporation is recalling 14.1 million of its X-Box Video game players due to faulty power cords. Microsoft says the cords have led to minor burns and property damage.
 
The company says one in every 10,000 units has experienced a power cord failure with excessively hot temperatures.
 
The company says the X-Box units should be turned off when not in use until the new cord arrives.
 
You can order a free replacement cord from xbox online

Kind of interesting...that's why I bought a spankin' new PS2!

No need. It touches on both topics. We can discuss the specific Microsoft issue here and the bad things about Xbox where that belongs.
