You may remember the rumours a few weeks ago, claiming that a defect had caused EB Games Australia to call for a recall of every single one of its Xbox 360 Premium consoles.
Allegedly, a batch of faulty HDDs had caused the problem, leading to orders asking store managers to test every Xbox 360 console in stock at Aussie EB stores.
It's been a bit slow on the ball but Microsoft has finally come out and denied the rumour, telling CVG "there has been no 'recall' in Australia or anywhere else. The rumours and speculation appearing are just that - rumours and speculation."
Good to see Microsoft commenting on rumour and speculation for a change though...
So there you have it, no need to worry about botched 360 hard drives cropping up over here - because apparently they're all just fine.
