Xbox's have been blowing up, literally, so i suggest everyone turn off your xbox by the mains just in case.

It's 1 in 10k but to be safe just turn off by the mains once finished with it.
Not that I care all that much, but if you want some information, here's a news article:
Xbox fault found.

Shouldn't the chance of an explosion add an extra bit of excitement to playing on the system?
It's not a bug, it's a feature! For those that need a little extra adrenaline while playing.

It doesnt matter when you bought it though because my friends blew up and he got it at christmas
hah... I think my plug needs to be recalled. it always falls out of the back of the system... ever since I got it.
i have a gamecube......*starts to cry*
lol I just bid on one on Ebay :D
do people not know how to read...? if you have an xbox, read on the bottom to see when yours was manufactured. if it was before a certain date, then they will send you a replacement. there is no blowing up of anykind. just you have a chance of your cord melting to the console and having to buy a whole new unit. =P

I just got my recall slip a couple days ago. I felt really special getting a letter from Microsoft that wasn't telling me to pay them.
