Looks like Microsoft has a mess on their hands.

haha thank god i dont have mine yet or i would be pissed

[Titusfied]

Oh man, that sucks.. Could you imagine if there was a major recall? That would be terrible for Microsoft..

[Jessifer]

It would also be amusing. I'd snerk if there were a recall.

Is that like chunneling?

[Jessifer]

No. Just...no.

Ha ha ha!

A major recall would be so funny!

I've got people at school who've started shouting at me that Xbox will smash the PS3 into the ground. And not one of them would even begin to listen when I started rattling off the latest flaw in the designing of the 360. A major recall would shut them up for good!

Has there ever been a major recall of any console in console history?

Not that I can think of. But I think XBox wil put a recall out for the 360's. Unless it's just an early thing, and only the first few shipments have this problem.

The problem seems to have to do with the power brick. There are two kinds (different colors) and one of them is faulty. Apparently people are supposed to send them in and wait a week for replacement.

I figured something like this would happen...happened to the first xboxs thank god I'm a sony fan=\

If these unconfirmed reports turn out to be true, then the Microsoft Xbox 360 just might be known as the worse planned launch ever in video game console history.

Haha, owned. But it is true, they did do a really shitty job of launching the 360.

[Farting_Pumpkin]

mines working great hope nothing bad happens

[JRwakebord]

Damn. If Microsoft fucked this up and the 360 fails, Wall Street will make them pay.

[Sovereign]

That's almost as funny as those morons who started a brawl at a walmart ( i think it was). The police sent everyone home and that store cancelled its xbox sale for the day.

[Lenny]

Haha haha!

Microsoft have done it again!

Why don't they just scrap the current Xbox 360 versions, and make new consoles with The latest version of XP on, and bring out a pad with 3 buttons?

Ctrl, Alt, Del.

At least they'll have a great one liner for Halo 3:

"Bow down before me aliens lest I Ctrl + Alt + Del thou!"

[Wed-G]

oh

burn

could we get some Ice over here?
