I brought my xbox with me for winter break, only to later realize that the voltage only varies from 110-117V. As most ppl would know, europe works on 220V. AND I had to get a transformer of at least 100 Watts, and those things are expensive. Finally my brother was able to buy one for me for 10 bucks from some flea market. The pal, ntsc settings work great on the x3, and now im enjoying playing spiderman2 in norway on a ntsc system. Thanks xecuter.
