Microsoft said Thursday it will recall 14.1 million power cords for its Xbox video game console after a defect gave some users minor burns and scorched carpets.
Robbie Bach, chief Xbox officer for Microsoft, told Reuters the recall covered all Xboxes made for continental Europe before Jan. 13, 2004, and the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003.
Since I’ve been playing Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas on my PS2 almost exclusively lately, not a big deal. Here’s a link to the MSFT site with info on ordering the replacement cord. You’ll need your serial number and manufacture date off your Xbox to place the order.
