kotaku.com— EB Games Australia have issued a recall on their Xbox 360s. Not just their own personal display or demo units. Every single Xbox 360 they had in-stock.

Why should EB Games do the recall for a hardware fault?. Should'nt Microsoft be the one that is issuing the recall. Maybe MS is the driving force behind this move as they would be keen to avoid a PR debacle. What about the other retailers in australia?
You got lucky with the PS1 and PS2. Both of mine broke.Actually, my Xbox broke as well. Hard drive failure. Only consoles I've ever owned that didn't break were made by Atari, Nintendo, and Sega.
The failure rate is a total embarrassment. It is a testament to the anti-sony fanboy machine that this is only now taking the forefront. It this was a sony issue then anti-ps3 diggs would be plastered all over the place. The 360 may be cheaper, but it shows that you really get what you pay for.

Anybody remember the PS1 that you have to put upside down for it to work. I had to buy another one eventually.

It is only an embarrassment to the transparently dishonest haters out there. You have s**t on your nose, you should wipe it off.

As somebody has already posted, warranty in Australia is carried by shop that sells the goods.
