Okay, got me an xbox from the US brought it back here to the UK.

read a few horror stories on ppl using the wrong power supply and wrecking their homes with flames.

anyone know how to safely do this as in - use the xbox with the us games, which IS legit, in the UK.

Assume the tv is compliamt - so the matter is a proven way of doing the power supply, such that it doesnt blow your house up.

It's duel voltage, so just get a new plug, it should auto switch the voltage, that's assuming you don't have a first gen era machine, but I don't think anyone has any of those anymore.

Mare keeping the live account current though.

Assuming your gamertag was signed up in America then you'll not be able to use any of your features like Netflix etc in the UK. The only solution is to sign up to a new UK gamertag which will then have access to the English apps.

As well as the power theres a compatability issue with the format of things displayed through it and I think the resolution is another adaptor.

With everything that needed changing to make my English one work over here it made more sense to sell it and then buy one over here.

more cpmplicated than just getting an appropriate power source.

Questions is - Has anyone here actualy connected a XBox lets assume a brand new one to a UK powere source which has blown up their house?

I know step up and step down voltages majored in physics for my BSc.

it is experience of someone doing it i seek, not supposition.

Really?

LOL have you got a degree BSC HONS in Physics & quantum physics? have you a degree at all?

Many dont and this is the reason they blow up their homes when they try to use any old adapter with their US purchased xbox in Uk.

once again nothing constructive in terms of experience just futile remarks.

All the threads you have either contributed to or commented on end in this argumentative manner....hope you're enjoying yourself!

LOL most comments on the discussion board are opinions, thoughts and not based on facts .

i was asking for constructive and productive input, but i dont need to suffer any such input which isnt.

So, i leave that for those with small minds, and refuse to partake in. Ppl like yoi

Please dont go into mindless exchange to no effect, very futile and maker you look sillier.

Bob

Well if you have to ask, then no, you probably shouldn't do it.

Have you tried asking through a medium?

My son (13) says you just need to get a cable direct from Microsoft?

I hope he is right.
