US Xbox 360 to Ireland
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
I recently came to Ireland and brought my Xbox with me. I bought an adapter for it but I'm not sure it will work with the Xbox or fry the power brick. Here is the link.

What does the power supply provided with your Xbox say in terms of input voltage and frequency? Nowadays most devices ship with universal power supplies (110-240V), but there are exceptions, and according to the link provided by Phil the Xbox 360 is one of those. If the power supply is 110-127V, then that adapter (which only handles the differing plugs, but doe nothing for voltage or frequency) will definitely not be suitable.

Laptops and the like tend to come with universal adaptors; game consoles seem to be an exception - likely because they're already tied to location due to dependencies on the display output (PAL vs NTSC - though this is less of an issue these days with HDMI) and on use of region-coded media.

Laptops and the like tend to come with universal adaptors; game consoles seem to be an exception - likely because they're already tied to location due to dependencies on the display output (PAL vs NTSC - though this is less of an issue these days with HDMI) and on use of region-coded media.

I believe it is not compatible. Ireland uses the European standard of 230volts (or 240v) 50Hertz. The US uses 120v 60Hz. Looking at http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/console/power-supply it looks like the xboxes ship with a different external PSU for each area. If you plug a 100v PSU into 240V power it's likely to blow up. Your best bet is to buy a new external powersupply.
