Xbox 360 Premium recall at EB Games Australia

I am a little late with this one, but it looks like EB Games Australia is recalling all Xbox 360 Premium packs.

"The recall, which affects the premium and not the core Xbox 360 consoles, is assumed to be related to a faulty batch of HDDs rather than to the widely-reported "red rings" issue. New premium consoles will apparently be back in the market channels by Wednesday."

At least this recall looks to be a problem with the Hard Drive Units and not the Red Rings :)

"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."
