    If you own an X box, and if you have a kid chances are you do, Microsoft is voluntarily recalling some of the power cords. For information, go to www.xbox.com.

    Below is the text of their website.

    Microsoft is providing new power cords at no charge to replace the cords that originally came with some Xbox consoles. You will need your Serial Number and Manufacture date to verify if your Xbox Console requires a replacement cord. This is located on the bottom of your console. If you have your Manufacture date and Serial Number and are ready to continue, please choose Place An Order below.


    If you would like additional information on how to locate your serial number and manufacture date, please click here.

    As long as it isn't going to catch fire, I don't care.

    I've had mine 3 years.

    UPDATE:

    The website says this after you "order" your new cord:

    Your order is now complete. Your new cord should ship within a matter of days. Until you receive and install your replacement power cord, turn off your Xbox when it?s not in use. If you would like to check the status of your order, please visit this website again.

    So, I guess the problems occur when you leave the sucker on too long....
