LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, said on Thursday it will recall 14.1 million power cords for its Xbox video game console after a defect gave some users minor singe burns and scorched carpets.
Robbie Bach, chief Xbox officer for Microsoft, told Reuters the recall covered all Xboxes made for continental Europe before Jan. 13, 2004, and units made for the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003.
Consoles built after those dates were designed in such a way that the failures no longer occurred, Bach said.
"It ends up being a combination of both things in the box and circumstances," he said. "It did take us quite a bit of time to understand that there was a challenge."
Heheheh. "A challenge."

I truly hope there are few crap box owners around here. For those of you who are, isn't it a concern to you that you are assisting Microsoft in its bid to grip yet another technological market by the gonads?

If it does what they want, who cares?
