    UK Xbox 360 in Canada


    Hi,

    I purchased my Xbox 360 in UK and used it with no problems in Europe (with plug adapter). In a few months I will be moving to Canada, and I was very sad and a little angry when I saw that my console is not "universal voltage". I searched, but I did not find
    useful information on where do I buy an official Xbox charger with canadian voltage and plug, and wether or not my console will work there or not.

    Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Alina

    What you have to do is just to buy a North American power brick. You will also need a PAL compatible or (more likely) HDTV otherwise the picture will be in black and white. HD component is fine though, you don't need to use HDMI.

    Also you will need to buy PAL region or Open region game discs when you are there.

    So if I buy a North American power brick and connect the Xbox to a HDTV or PAL+NTSC compatible TV via HDMI cable, it should work fine. That's good news for me.

    I do not use the Xbox for DVD play, so I do not care about dvds compatibility. As for the games, well yes, I would just buy region-free games or from UK/Europe if PAL-only.

    Thanks for your answer, I hope I understood correctly.

    Uk to Canada

    hi

    I have an Xbox 360, an Xbox one and an Xbox one S. we are moving to Canada in a few weeks - will all be consoles still work over there? Do I need to do anything to get them to work over in Canada?

    Thanks

    Anna
    Although a power converter would work it would be best to purchase a new power supply for the consoles. You can either contact phone support for help in doing this or hit the Microsoft Store when you get to Canada. If you choose to call the number is 020
    7365 9792 or 0800 587 1102

    thank you for that - what about the power supply? Am I ok to just buy a plug converter? Or do I need new power packs etc.

    You will need to change the region on your consoles and be sure to update your MS account. The following link will assist you https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/microsoft-account/update-microsoft-account-country-region
