Im getting the ps3 cos the power lead incident for xbox could happen again..........and im a sony fan
What power lead incident?
I never heard of any 'power lead incident' (which is worring as I worked in EB for the first 6 months of it's release).
[/b]
this just proves how little the employees at EB know about the industry
a. the release dates are 70% false - put forward to get a pre-order and steal the sale
b. no nothing about specifications for pc games etc
c. do not even care
here's the source champ
maybe u can print it out, and put it on ur EB's stores window\

Microsoft Recalls Xbox Power Cords
Recalls Affects Millions Of Consoles
Feb 17, 2005 12:03 pm US/Central
SEATTLE (AP) Microsoft Corp. said Thursday that it is recalling 14.1 million power cords for its Xbox game because they can catch fire.
The software company said 30 customers have reported fire damage. Seven Xbox users burned their hands, while 23 reported smoke damage or damage to their carpets or entertainment centers, Microsoft said.
Peter Moore, a corporate vice president, said the company has known about the problem for some time and spent the past several months gearing up for the recall by producing more cords and making other arrangements.
Everywhere except Europe, the recall affects Xboxes manufactured before Oct. 23, 2003. In Europe, it affects those manufactured before Jan. 13, 2004.
Overall, the flaw affects about 70 percent of the approximately 20 million consoles sold, Microsoft said.
Customers can order a free replacement cord by going to
www.xbox.com. Until a new cord is delivered, Xbox users should turn off their game players when not in use, Microsoft said.
Moore declined to say how much the recall will cost the company
