Microsoft is recalling all the Xbox's in Japan because of a defect two weeks after its debut in the country!
Some of the 250,000 consoles shipped in Japan make scratches on the perimeter of a game disk, said Microsoft Co., the Japanese unit of the world's biggest software maker.
Customers need to send the console back to Microsoft for repair; the process of replacing the disc drive will take a week to ten days to complete.
Microsoft has got 200.000 new drives ready for the Xbox. That means that they are expecting to have almost all the Xbox's returned sold in Japan.
The recall comes a week before the console's debut in Europe on March 14. Maybe it is time to think over the European release date for the XBox. They have got a lot of repairing to do...

I think this is false. It's been on Newsbeat all day and they never said anything about recalling all units. It only affects a minority of consoles, in the same way a minority of PS2s had PSU problems.
Told you.
Crap.
Great though.. they lose more money, and annoy more people.
