Xbox 360 Recalled? (in Australia)

Kotaku reported earlier today that EB Games Australia is recalling all 360’s they’ve sold. I’ve already had to send back 2 360’s one Red Ring’d and the other had “Dirty Disc Errors”… I feel a bit safer with the new 3 year warranty. On a lighter note, my Wii and Playstation 3 are still running like a champ.

EB Games Australia have issued a recall on their Xbox 360s. Not just their own personal display or demo units. Every single Premium Xbox 360 they had in-stock. Sources within the company have confirmed that two weeks ago (approx June 29) store managers were first asked by Head Office to test every unit in-stock for errors, but were then ordered last week to return their entire inventories of the console, as well as remove all 360 promotional material and dummy boxes from their stores. The recall is believed to be due to a faulty batch of HDDs, as it did not include Core units.
