In order to avoid avid Xbox gamers from getting HIMoKed by their Xbox (Hurt Injure Maimed or Killed) Microsoft had voluntarily recalled 16.3 million Xbox power cords.
Old cord: nice slim end and fits perfectly on all surge suppressors.
New cord: WTF?! A goddamn breaker box?!? A HUGE box at the end of the cord with a little indicator light letting you know something is wrong with a reset switch.
I've got one of those nifty all in one surge suppressors with cable line protection, and this thing will well... juts out over the cable line connectors. If I plug it in at the other end of the surge suppressor... I lose 2 plugs because this damn box is covering them.
Way to go Microsoft!
