People have told me that this happened before XBox360 was released, so I'm no
longer sure about is. What I *do* know is that lawsuits were filed last year
(more than one, AFAIK) because house were burned down and the fire started
with the poorly-designed and prematurely-released XBox360. They should have
recalled all units, gone back to the drawing board. and done the right (and
responsible) thing. They never did because it was important for them to gain
market share before their competitors arrive (late 2006). The consumer
suffers.
