Xbox

I received an e-mail from XBOX.com telling me that Microsofts replacing the power cords of all XBOXs free of charge. Apparently, their is a minor risk (fewer than 1 in 10'000) that the whole thing goes in flame... Is this true? www.xbox.com is an official site. I went there, and on the right was written: Important Safety Notice:
Powercord replacement for XBOX

Is this true? Or it just some spam again.

that whole thing about the power cord was found out like the middle of last year and it only happens on the old xbox's and not the crystal's they have better drives and stuff.
