Traveling with Xbox One

Zeniun · Jan 9, 2015

In a week I will be traveling to the U.K., where I will be staying for a semester (study abroad). I've done some research on traveling with xbox consoles in preparation for the journey - I came across one forum thread that said if you put your xbox through
security (x-ray machines), it will damage the console. The post continued to say that your allowed to ask security not to scan the device but it seems like a lot of hassle and I don't want to be that one person who holds up the line for 10minutes and get evil
stares. I also don't know if this would work returning home (U.S.) because U.K. airport security officials may not allow the same requests.

So my question is, is this true - will the console really be damaged if I run it through security? If it is in fact true, what would be the best way to travel with the console?

Hi

I believe the Xbox One X is multi voltage the same as the Xbox One S.

Putting your Xbox through the scanners won't cause any damage. HDD's often go through airport scanners with other devices and that is the likely component that people reference. The xray the aiport scanner uses isn't sufficient to damage electronics. Only
thing really not to put through them is camera film.

As it is a console they will want you to take it out of your bag like they do with laptops to go through the scanner though so don't pack your bag too much as you will need to remove it from your bag before sending it through.

It'd probably be best to pack the console in your carry on luggage and the cables in your checked in luggage or they might start asking you to take out the power brick, controllers etc if it is in your carry on luggage.

Also, yes the UK do offer the same request to not put it through the scanners if that is what you decide to do.

Xbox 1 is region free. It's not like a DVD Player which will only read discs from 1 region. Australia and New Zealand are also PAL countries with very little time difference between Aus and NZ (only 2 hours apart). I have at least two Xbox friends from Saudi
Arabia (both of them are girls). But if you ask me Australia and NZ are more safer countries. Avoid Afghanistan and Israel and countries with Ebola. I hear it a lot on TV and the news.

EB Games here is selling a travel case for Xbox 1. The case isn't made by M tho, it's made by some 3rd party company.

Personally I'd grab a couple of games for your laptop and just use that while you are away. Pick the right ones and they'd even have support for your One controller.

The One isn't really a convenient size to take travelling.

Hello "xlx VORT3X xlx"

I just brought it up because it would be such a shame for your Xbox One to escape unscathed from the perils of travel to only meet its demise at the hands of plugging it into a wall outlet without a voltage regulator.

Have a nice day or afternoon or night "xlx VORT3X xlx"
