Overseas Power supply's

[samueljay]

Hey All!
Looking at grabbing a 360 soon :) And I just have a question about the power supply issues.
I have come to learn for a Japanese or US Console you would need a step down converter to change from 110V to 220/240 I think :) Just wondering with EU consoles (won't be getting one just a query) if the voltage is 220/240V with a UK plug do you still need a step down converter or anything? Or is 220/240V the same as AUS and all you need is a plug adaptor? one more question, some places say 220V and others say 240V is there any difference? I hope I make some sense, thanks alot :)
Cheers
Sam.

same as UK just need the adapter. there are some countries that use 220V and the 220/240V thing just means that power supply can run on voltages around that range.

EDIT: if you got a jap or US console you would need a converter to go from 240V to 110V not the other way around.

I just bought a power cable for my EU 360 from dick smith for something like, around $12. So no need to worry about a plug adapter.

Thanks alot guys! Sorry not to chuck it in my other thread, but I thought if other people have the same question might be better to chuck it in a new one :) Thanks again :)

yeh i bought a jananese sega saturn the other day and that was 220V aswell,all i needed was the 5 buck adapter and works a treat no need for the stepdown transformer.
