Power supply USA to Europe

To use a Xbox One console from USA in Italy Europe, are we supposed to purchase a European power brick to use with the USA console or simply plug in the American power brick we used in USA into a voltage converter ? We do not want to ruin our consoles if
anyone has any experience using Xbox One in Italy it would be appreciated as we will be living here for a few years and we are anxious to play. Thanks !

Xbox One won't turn on ?

Yeah a Europe power supply might be needed. I should look on the power brick of mine from the US to see the power rating. Remember in the USA we use 120v 60hz power standard.

 

Using a USA purchased Xbox in the UK

It won't work as it will probably blow the power supply as the power supply would be too big.

You can however buy another power supply for Europe if you call Xbox Support.

You will also have to import games from the USA, unless the games are region-free.

 

You will need to purchase a power supply that is supported in the EU/country your using it in.

Just to add,you should never use any type of voltage converter with your console as it can damage your console.

 

So to make sure, I should buy a new power supply unit for the Xbox that was made for European outlets ? And plugging one of those European psu won't damage my console either ?

 

Yeah.All consoles are the same,it's just the power supply & some software that is different from country to country.

Just make sure you get an official Microsoft power supply as 3rd party ones could cause problems.
