If i bought the xbox 360 in america where the voltage is 110V would i be able to use it in Europe where the voltage is 220V? or would i need a transformer... coz its a real hassle the transformer weighing more than the xbox and all!

either buy a transformer, or u can get a multi-voltage AC adapter off the net. i actually asked microsoft, and they said that AC adapters are available. so might wanna ask around when u reach ur destination in europe.

but something u should actually be worrying about is games: NTSC isn't available in europe, asia etc. etc.

Should'nt worry about the NTSC problem cuz almost every tv support both PAL and NTSC. The only problem is that he must buy NTSC games..

You need a step down converter to use it in europe. I use a USA 360 and I live in Europe.

The converter cost me 100$ or so if I remember correctly and yes they weigh quite a lot. Mine weighs 20 pounds.
