KfC told me that they have had 0.3% of cubes returned due to burnt out power sockets; I call that acknowledging there is a problem. Given that most people will have done a work around, soldered wires to board, splitter cables and so on the returns are still around 1/300 units.
Can you imagine if 1 in 300 Ford's was burning up due to a design fault? Or 1 in 300 Dell computers?

Even if that's an accurate number of returns to KnC, imagine the number of people who aren't interested in paying for and waiting for shit to ship to Sweden, to be fixed, and then shipped back. If you're competent enough with a soldering iron you can have new plugs the next day delivered from Digikey, or solder some leads right to the board.
