American 360 Vs European 360

[mtb211]

I own an american 360.. moving to germany.. can I just buy a european power supply when I am there for the 360 and just import games?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the brick on the AC cord is the power supply? If so you can just buy a new cord in Germany, or one off Ebay now. You can import the games, sure.

Do I need to replace the brick part also or just the 110 cord to a 220?

thanks for the help

Yeah, the brick is the converter unit, but just to be on the safe side I would probably get a power converter for the outlet because the brick is expecting a certain type of power to convert...

If he were to just buy a 220v to DC brick, the one used on Germany/European 360 models, he wouldn't need the outlet transformer.

If he were to get a voltage transformer for the outlet, 220/110vac, he wouldn't need to change the brick. But it would be easier to not need this medium, as you might forget, or someone might not know and fry it trying to plug it in normally. <--- Unlikely, since the pins would be different, but meh.

okay so i do or dont need a new brick?

Not if you buy a voltage transformer. It would probably be easier and maybe cheaper to buy a European power suply.
