Microsoft are replacing a huge load (14 million!) of potentially defective XBox power cables. Go check and get them to send you a replacement before you toast something by accident.

Microsoft said customers would get replacement cords within two to four weeks from the time of order. It advised users to turn off their Xboxes when not in use.


Feck that, it's just a normal figure 8 power cable, I'll use one from the few I have lying around.

Same here. I'm wondering how you can screw up a power lead since it is pretty simple. My biggest worry at the moment is whether I'm still using the XBox lead with the XBox or have I shuffled it around...

Ive been trying to figure out how to tell the difference between the cables since I have a few xboxes.
