Does yours also look exactly the same as the old one? Because mine does.
Is it supposed to look diff, or just a better made cord?

Here is what mine looks like:

Uhh, mine looks nothing like that?
Where do you live?
Mine just is a power cord with a little round resistor in the middle, just like the old one.

On the left is mine:

That's the plain original one. I suggest you get in contact with Xbox and let them know.

Either by website; www.xbox.com or 1-800-4-MY-XBOX.

I live in Canada.

Before I do, has everyone else received the same one you did?

Doing some quick searching I found this page:

Which talks about not all consumers receiving the same cord.

I just got done speaking with their cord replacement dept on the telephone b/c I was a little concerned about the cord after seeing the shots of gizmo's and they informed me that they released different versions of the new power cords that are specific to the serial numbers. So while some XBOX's require the cord like gizmo's if your replacement cord looks the same as the original as mine did it is in fact a replacement cord that is not defective.

I got a cord like gizmo's. It is interesting that they send different versions of the cord.

my xbox was manufactured june 20, 2003. so im getting it. i rarely play my xbox though becuase of that dumb dirty disc error. but im getting it anyways becuase it is free, and i love free stuff.

non-related question:
as you read, my xbox gets the dirty disc error. i never registered my xbox to Microsoft. will they still fix it and how much will it cost?
edit: xbox is registered. it says that all i need to do is put down my email address, where i type all my shipping info. so im registered i guess.

Yea i got the same same cord as gizmo did and as stated above my xbox was manufactured in 10-17-2001 . So the oldest ones probally receive that massive cord =/
