I'm not positive if this is North America too, or just UK.

More recalls for Microsoft

09 June - Microsoft have issued a further safety recall after it was discovered that there are more problems with power cables.

Previously Microsoft only issued new power cables to owners of older machines, but now any Xbox bought before 14th January 2005 is afected.

To find out if you need to take action, make a note of htye serial number on your console and call Xbox Support on 0800 0289276, or click here (https://replacements.webprogram.com/en-gb/programoverview.asp) to check online.

As with the original safety recall earlier this year, customers are advised to turn off their Xbox when not in use to protect from the risk of the component failure and potential fire hazard.

My Xbox was made May 10th 2002 and it hasn't acted up yet. I just ordered a power cord because of the second notice I received from Microsoft.

I've seen some Xboxes catch on fire due to the power supply acting up. No one was hurt, but still....they need to fix that!
