    Is it possible to import a US XBOX360 and make it run with a European PAL power brick? (I am not refering to the possible pal/ntsc tv problems, I am only interested to know if the system boots and if you can infact play with a European power brick)
    My guess would be that the input voltage etc is the same on both NTSC and PAL consoles and the only thing that changes is the output voltage. Just like with the NTSC-U/JAP/PAL N64s. Correct me if I'm wrong!
    MS experts of the forum i would like you to enlighten me!
    Thanx

    As long as you have a power brick for your region it should work.

    The PSU is all external so I think Gabe is right on this one...

    As long as you have a power brick that can take the appropriate input voltage (110/220) and outputs the required amount of power or -better- you're fine.

    So you can take an original Xenon 220v power supply and use it with any console (aside from the dev kit w/side car) but you couldn't say the same about a Jasper 220v power supply.

    In fact, this is exactly what Microsoft did for the European winners of its Zero Hour contest. Those who were from Europe and bought US Xbox 360s (prior to the European launch) were simply given 220v power supplies to go with their units.
