    Xbox 360 E (NTSC) power supply in PAL countries


    Greetings,

    I've owned a PAL Xbox 360 S for more than a decade and I just imported a secondhand NTSC Xbox 360 E to play some US exclusives (it's being shipped as I write).

    Since I live in mainland Europe (France, specifically), I'm cautious about plugging the console in a power socket without double-checking electrical safety first.

    The Power Supply Unit of the NTSC console is designed to accept 100V-127V voltage at 3.29A in the 47-63Hz frequency range for use in North America. However, the nominal output of a power socket in France is 200-240V (for instance, the Power Supply Unit of my PAL console accepts this voltage @ 1.78A - frequency is the same as in the US).

    I have a US-to-EU socket adapter so plugging in the US power unit into the EU socket won't be a problem, but turning the console on will potentially be...

    My question is: how do I power my NTSC console on a French power socket without risking any harm to me or damage to my console?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    :)

    A docket adapter will not work, and neither will virtually any voltage adapter you find, theyre intended for laptops at most, theyre not designed for high draw devices. If you do wish to try a voltage regulator, make sure it’s capacity is rated at at least 200w

    Thanks for the input, SwordofWhedon. I checked the power consumption of the 360 E and the power supply unit indicates 152 Wh. I looked around and found a 800 Watt voltage converter which looks like it could handle the load.

    ntsc version in india

    Hi,

    You'll have 2 issues with purchasing a console that's meant for another region (this goes for all countries). Since you purchased a US console (NTSC) and you live in India (PAL country) you'll need to first contact Xbox Support in your country and order a power
    supply that will work with that console. Plugging in a 110v power supply into a country who's voltage is 220 will cause the power supply to short and possibly cause harm to your console.

    Second, since you have an NTSC console, and your country is primarily a PAL country it's unlikely you'll find NTSC games there (unless they are imported and at a much greater cost). If you're unable to purchase NTSC games in your country, it's suggested you
    look at a website like this here to see what games are "Region Free" and get those games. Region Free games are games that will play in
    all consoles regardless of where the console was purchased (NTSC, PAL, NTSC-JP, etc).

    Buying foreign xbox360

    Hello,

    If you purchase a console in Dubai it will be a PAL console (220v power supply, will only play PAL games). It's best if you purchase a console in the country you live in and plan to purchase games in. Consoles sold in Canada are NTSC (North American and 110v
    power supply) and only NTSC games will work in those consoles.

    It would be better to purchase a console when you get to Canada.

    It depends on the Xbox 360 type. The older style systems with the external power brick, you could use another regions power supply as the brick conditioned the power to work. However with the newer systems that have an internal power supply, i don't think
    that is possible.

    In terms of discs, PAL discs can only be played on PAL systems, US (NTSC) discs only work on US systems. The xbox 360 was a region coded reader.
