my replacement cord is a huge contraption with even more warnings and an 1-800 number if some light on the built in circuit breaker is red

Downsides to olde xboxes- Bad dvd drive later on and now bad power supply(now fixed with replacement)
Upside- Seagate 10gb hard drives are in most v1.0-v1.2 xboxes. Just learn to unlock it and you have 2gbs more then everyone else.

Doesn't that cord scream “military issue”? That's not the cord that comes with the current run of Xboxes.
I think the pyromaniac lives inside your Xbox, not the AC adaptor. The new blackjack-like power block just helps keep him in line.

Power cord replacement or not – it's irrelevant …. I bought an xbox from the 1st skid coming into ToysRUs the first time it hit the shelves – price about 450 Cdn. Then – in the 2 years that followed – bought more controllers, dvd kit, hifi kit, steering wheel – and about 25 games … great investment …. HOWEVER – now – dvd is completely useless – my kids don't even want to play it anymore because they've just grown totally fed up with games freezing with dirty disk errors (ie – put Halo2 in – 1st time – reports a dirty disk….) – movies – just as bad – nothing like watching a movie – and it freezing half way …. so … basically it's now a nice paperweight that needs dusting all the time.
Maybe I'll just hope my cord is defective and it does burn the house down – by the looks of it – that'll be the only way I'll get a free dvd replacement…
I do love the xbox – don't get me wrong – but what's to love when it doesn't work?

I thought this was a scam the first time I got the email. I deleted it. Woops.

Actually.. not a “fire risk” per se but I did use a cord from a laptop power supply to power my xbox and it blew the power supply up. It was stinky. The xbox has a proprietary power cord. This, at least, is NOT propaganda.

Well, based on 14.1 million recalls, around 1500?

Yeah I was affected as well.
I'm still waiting on mine, its been about a week ago since i submitted my form and i just barely got the shipped email.
They should have replaced everyone's dvd drives on the older ones, crazy read errors.
hah
