    Nice try Microsoft, but Sony wins the "screw your customers" award for 2011. No contest really.

    Well at lest their PR company knows how to handle a situation.

    They know which Xboxes are affected via live and are emailing people that will be. For anyone that is affected they get a free 360s with 250GB hard drive (before you send you old one in, MS send postage paid packaging for the old one with the new one) and a free year of xbox live.

    Given that it seems only 10,000 boxes (out of 50,000,000) are affected I have more chance of winning the lottery than getting a new Xbox out of this!!

    Nah, chances of winning the lottery are like 1 in 16 million. Chances of being one of the consoles affected (using your numbers :)) are 1 in 5000.

    I rate your chances as fair to good :hehe:

    Speaking pure statistics, you are more likely for you Xbox to be affected than to match 5 balls in the lottery... nevermind the jackpot.

    But in actuality it isn't a statistics problem.
