Hey everybody,
Just recieved word that xbox is sending replacement powercords at no charge to anyone who has a xbox manufactured before October 2003. There is a link to order your cord: http://replacements.webprogram.com/...ramoverview.asp they are recommending you do not leave your xbox unattended and turned on until you recieve your new cord so it sounds like it may be a safety issue, just wanted to spread the word.
