I bought an Xbox 360 in the US & I'm planning to bring it home to Malaysia. The thing is, I'm not sure the power wattage in Malaysia is suitable or not for my console. Of course I'd want it to power up but surely I don't want to blow a fuse sweat.gif . Really hope someone can tell me whether or not I should get a power output converter, and where I can get it, since I've never bought one. Here's a picture of the spec written on my Xbox 360's power brick. Thanks!!!

Yes you will need stepdown converter, here in MY and UK it's 200~240V
In US it's 100V as per you picture, same as Japan.

Thanks for the replies! Now I know I need a step-down transformer, but I'm not sure what's the max watt for it that I should get. Judging from my power brick which states 175W MAX, I'd need a step-down transformer that converts 240V to 110V, 200W. Is that correct?

Go list down what you want to buy in the Pasar Malam thread. Someone might PM you with an available one.

Before u buy, check 1st your xbox whether it is jasper/falcon/etc..
or check your output wattage at the power brick..

since each,require diff wattage..

if you bought lower wattage output that ur xbox required , ur xbox might cannot b on

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh sorry,didnt check ur picture up there,, so u require 175W (probably ur xbox is falcon) 2nd hand power brick...
