I'm taking my Xbox (which I bought in the UK) to Spain with me and was
wondering whether it'll work over there or not...not bothered about
playing DVDs on it, just games.

well surely if he lives in spain, probably be better for him to get a
proper spanish plug for it, rather than rely on a tacky and cheap
travel plug, thats all im saying :)

Err, hate to disagree with everybody else. The picture will work
fine but there will be no sound. I have never used an Xbox so I
have no idea if this is important or not. It would take quite a
lot away form most DVDs though.

Its a standard figure of eight mains lead as used on most radios etc. a
kettle lead will not fit

This may or may not be correct, depending on the way the Xbox is connected
to the local TV set. If it is plugged into the antenna/aerial connector (so
that the TV set has to be tuned to a spare channel to find the picture),
then there will indeed be no sound. But if a 21-pin SCART/Peritel/Euro
AV/etc. connector is fitted and used, then the sound should be OK when you
press the TV set's "AV" button.
