Last time I owned a 360 (before it red-ringed on me), power supply was 120 volts only. Can anybody with an Elite confirm that the power supply is still 120 Volts only? Most laptop power supplies, for instance, handle both voltages. Thanks in advanced.

Yeah I did google it. Looked at all the unboxing photos I could handle too. (on a related note, there are lots of terribly out-of-focus pictures of onboxing out there).

Story below I found seems to suggest that it's still not dual voltage capable, but hoping someone in US or Canada can confirm that's true for latest rev of consoles there. Apparently msft sent a big shipment of consoles to the Europe with the wrong power supply. (oops)

Microsoft dosn't make a switching power supply for the 360. So it's 120 only.

Thanks. I take it you have Elite or new Premium box? I see that 3rd party has begun selling replacement power supplies on amazon, but the reviews all seem to end with "and after 10 minutes, it caught fire". Guessing such a power supply would void the warranty anyways.
