Any problems with buying an Xbox one from the US to bring to the UK

V NeroGamer X · Oct 16, 2016

I'm currently on holiday in the US and looking at buying myself an Xbox one S to bring back home to the UK. I was just wondering if there would be any problems with me doing this? I know that I would need to buy an adapter to plug in back home. But any other
issues such as using the Xbox live and store or downloading games?

Thanks

Using a US Xbox One S in the UK

i've just ordered a US Xbox One S in Storm Grey from the US.

I won't have any problems with the power supply as the new internal power supply is switchable (110 - 240v) but was wondering if anyone knows if I'll have any problems using the Xbox One S in the UK with a UK profile. Will I be able to buy from the UK store
without problem with it being a US console? It'll also come with a US download code for Battlefield One, anyone know if this will work with a UK profile? Thanks

will I face any difficulties if I buy an Xbox one x from the USA and bring it to India ? will I have problems buying games from the store or something like that?

There shouldn't be any issues, you'd just have to switch the consoles location to the UK to access the UK's marketplace.

The Xbox One S has a internal 'Multi-voltage power supply. So yes, if you buy from the U.S and bring it to the UK it will work just fine. You will need either a UK power cord or a US to UK plug adaptor to connect it to the mains here though - which is
a just a minor quibble. All games on the console are region free. You could buy the older model Xbox One, but, that one would require a UK power brick to function in the UK, so if you must buy one there, buy the newer S version.

"There's much to like here - the integration of the multi-voltage power supply into the main chassis is obviously welcome...."

I believe you can still use the same account but you won't have access to services such as Netflix.

US games will not work on UK Xboxes, but you can bring over your US games and US Xbox. Or alternatively you can buy a UK Xbox and UK games here.

You will have to use the same generation power brick on the console but they will work fine. I use the same power brick on the japanese and PAL console as the NTSC. I have an older japanese and pal console that havent had any problems as well as a slim
of each that have had no problems on a NTSC power supply.

power transfomer is what its called.

i believe is easier and safer just to purchase a different power brick and possibly cheaper too
