If you registered you Xbox MS should have sent you a new power cord. Its a known issue that the power cord that comes with the Xbox will potentially fry it. I say call MS and tell them what happened.

Thanks a lot CLL.

I went on XBOX.com and they said y cord should've been replaced. They are sending me one free of charge.

Any XBOX users who have not replaced your cord. I highly rcommend that you at least go to Xbox.com and see if you are in need of a replacement.

All you need to do put in you serial number and MFG date (which is located at the bottom of your Xbox.)

It's free and it can save you a lot of trouble.

I suggest you get a PS2

That does suck though. My brother has an Xbox and he is always having problems with it.

PS2 sucks!! Graphics and games are much better on XBox

Excellent helpline CLL, I replaced mine a while back - have never had problems with my XBOX - other than maybe sucking as some of the games.

Being a Mac guy, I'm surprised you would purchase a microsoft xbox.

i had one of the first xbox and had trouble with it but microsoft replaced it with me paying for shipping ....now no problems !!!

I suggest you push your Xbox aside, go to Wal-Mart, buy a football and a frisbee, and go to your nearest park. This should be able to cure the extreme-stress syndrome you have acquired from playing Xbox too much.

shhhhhhhhhhh!

Actually back in the mid-late 80's when MS was pretty small and accessible, I had a great relationship with a lot of the product developers and managers. Then they got BIG!!!!

We have a rebel in our midst! Pretty soon he'll have us reading books too.

Your next assignment is to read War and Peace.......



Seriously, I've found that when you play video games for 35 hours every day, the consoles tend to break a lot quicker....
