    Using UK Xbox One in the USA


    Hi

    I'm emigrating to the USA from the UK this month. I have 2 x UK Xbox Ones that I wish to take with me.

    Can I simply buy 2 x USA replacement Power Supply's or do I have to still but Power convertors?

    Thanks

    :)

    UK Xbox one S in North America

    I am looking at upgrading to the Xbox one S but I will be moving to the USA for a year. My original Xbox one is from the USA and I have had no problems using this in the UK due to getting a UK adapter, however it looks like the one S plugs directly into
    the socket so will a UK xbox one S be able to work in the USA?

    Changing XBox Live account region

    The 100+ Arcade Games are included in "DLC Content" (Downloadable Content), they are tied to the gamertag, and that XBOX.

    If you plan on using the same XBOX 360 in the UK you will need a new power supply as well since US / UK have different power voltages and the games you get from the UK are in a different format as well.

    USA = 120 V and UK = 230 V, they are not compatible with each other so you'd need to get yourself a new power supply if you intend on using the same XBOX 360.

    Games made in the USA (and compatible with USA consoles - NTSC Format), Games sold in the UK (and compatible with UK consoles - PAL Format)

    So, please be mindful of that Using UK Xbox One in the USA :).

    Using UK Xbox One in the USA

    The consoles will work fine. You just need to use two US power supply units instead of your UK ones. You should be able to acquire them by speaking with Support.

    Avoid using power adapters with your UK ones. There's a risk it could do more harm than good.

    Using UK Account in US

    Since GT regions can not be changed you would need to start a new account if you wanted to use the USA market place.

    You will still be able to use your UK GT on a USA console and play the games, but would still only have access to the UK store.

    Also some DLC is so region locked that is you have to match all Regions for it to work.

    Say COD:BO if you had a UK account and a USA game and a UK xbox - you could not get some map packs to work.

    Short answer, Use your UK account till it is expired, then start a USA account.

    Long answer, Start a USA account just to download DLC and keep using your UK items. (Until a game is released that is region locked and you need a USA console to play)

    Moving from USA to UK - Will US xbox live account work on uk console

    I don't know if this question has been resolved yet, but you can take your usa xbox to the UK all you need to do is to order a UK plug to replace the usa one.. You don't need too replace the transformer as it excepts 110-240v... And 95% of UK Tv's play
    ntsc 60hz.. plus if you us hdmi it doesn't matter...
