Title: Xbox owners read here Post by: Izret101 on March 02, 2005, 12:15:56 PM I just got a letter in the mail today that Microsoft is recalling the power suply for any Xbox manufactured beforeOctober 23, 2003 needs a replacement..
Go to www.xbox.com to get info on the replacement cord or call 1-866-271-0450. Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Lord Nepenthean on March 02, 2005, 12:18:07 PM Power supply or just power cord? That would be an enormous problem for everyone (owners and Microsoft) if it is the power supply, and not just the cord.
Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Izret101 on March 02, 2005, 12:19:29 PM Oops yes it is only the power cord.
It can cause burning inside the console or the power cord can melt where it connects to the Xbox. Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Lord Nepenthean on March 02, 2005, 01:09:33 PM So it really is true that Xboxes (is that the right plural of Xbox?) catch on fire.... Fascinating.

Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Sauza12 on March 03, 2005, 06:30:47 AM I got my letter sometime last week. I'll probably get the new cord just to have an extra one (assuming I don't have to send in the old one).
Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: captain_nintendo on March 04, 2005, 04:23:58 AM Ok , admit it people........ You are going to keep this letter in your collection ? :P
(I am keeping it) Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Jagdiesel on March 04, 2005, 05:04:41 AM Quote Ok , admit it people........ You are going to keep this letter in your collection ?  :P (I am keeping it) I'll keep it with my system box so that in the odd case I ever tire of my Xbox and get rid of it. That way whoever gets it from me will have proof that I replaced the power cord. Well that and the fact that it isn't every day that I receive a "personal" letter from the land of Xbox! |D Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Sauza12 on March 04, 2005, 06:05:18 AM The thought of framing it actually crept into my mind. |D
Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Tynstar on March 04, 2005, 06:33:06 AM Yeah I am going to keep mine.
Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Izret101 on March 04, 2005, 06:58:23 AM I keep all of the leters i get from gaming companies.
As for this cord i think they will only replace it if you can prove ownership of an Xbox befoer that date. haven't read for sure but if that is not the case i will be getting an extra power cord myself.

Catching up on some Penny Arcade comic and saw this one. Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: bum-man on March 04, 2005, 04:34:32 PM Quote I keep all of the leters i get from gaming companies. I still have a letter I got from Atari when I tried to return the combat cart that came with my heavy-sixer. Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Arrrhalomynn on March 05, 2005, 03:20:38 AM How come all you guys get letters? Did you register your xbox?
Title: Re: Xbox owners read here Post by: Izret101 on March 05, 2005, 05:49:52 AM I register almost everything i get so i am going to say yes that is one reason we get/got letters.

What's the story behind that? I'm very curious as to your reason for wanting to return Combat.... and what Atari's response was. |
