Hi guys,

I'm planning on getting xbox 360 from United Kingdom. I want to know whether I should get any extra adapter or step-down transformer before I can play? According to this site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907635?sd=xbox AC power cords section I think its OK because I know Singapore and Malaysia use the same voltage.

but just to be safe I want to ask xbox expert here, what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance.

^ or Aus. But keep in mind that it's not a good plan in the long run, as you'll be paying quite the premium for new games, and might not be able to get used games from local forumers.

Is there anyway to get around this? So I can play Malaysia 360 games with UK console other than buying region free games?

thanks
