apparently there's some flaw in the original cords, and it poses a fire threat. anyway, it's free, so you might as well get one (if you need it - see the link for details).
Also, rumor has it that the X-Box 2 will be made public by the middle of this year, and plans are to make it available for purchase just in time for Christmas. Sounds nice, but the one thing that turns me off is there's talk of a Halo 2.5 that will be bundled with the new console and it's touted as being the "Halo 2 they wanted to make for the X-Box, but couldn't until now"- thus more or less signalling that backwards compatability will NOT be an option built into this new console. In other words, any game you really enjoy on your X-Box now won't be able to play on the new console.
Sony has incorporated backwards compatibility into the PS2 & said that PS3 will continue the trend.
