skellysgirl Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Hi are waiting for our belongings to arrive and whilst chatting with a man in the game store yesterday he said he has heard reports of xbox ones going pop when you plug them in due to a power issue. We have a few xbox 360s and an xbox one i was planning on just getting a few adaptors and plugging them in via the adaptor, I am a little worried now, I haven't found much info other than a few people saying their US ones had popped due to voltage difference and a few other poms asking the same as me, i can't find any clear advice that UK ones are safe to plug in, nor of any UK ones popped. You can't buy the power brick on its own, from Microsoft, you can buy 3rd party from china but not keen on the idea. Has as anyone else brought Uk xbox one and used it in oz yet?

tina0101 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Our playstation 4 works fine and we checked with them before we went and they said it was ok as it's the same voltage here. Maybe ask Xbox directly?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 We brought a 360 with us which was fine. We have just changed the plug. We bought an xbox one here but the 360 is still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest98336 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Same as milliem. We have two XBox 360s. I replaced the plugs on the power cables ($2.76 per plug from Bunnings) and they work fine. You will need to update your region on your XBox Live account, to Australia, then update your billing payment method to an Australian based credit card or bank account.
