Hi all

Can someone tell me if the power cord on the back of the 360 is the same as a PC one please? They have just been launched here and cannot be found for love nor ridiculous amounts of money. I am thinking of bringing one in from the UK but need to know availability and also this powercord issue.

Thanks in advance

Oh and are they worth it, opinions valued

 

Yes the kettle type

 

Exactly what I was after mate, thank you.

Just been and bought one of the last ones available after spending the day trying stores.

 

BUT u need powerpack for it to go through obviosly or ull blow the lot

 

Comes with a powepack mate as the plug on the back of the system is a weird one with the kettle type one plugging into the powerpack. We use the same volts here so kettle power plugs are easy to get and just switch for a local kettle plug.

 

any grief m8 just cut the plug off and put the right sort on
Thats what i did as mine came with a 2 pin plug from Denmark..
I cut it off and put a UK plug on it

 

im about to buy one also play seems the cheepest same price as tescos

DanRSturbo gave me the link in the pc room

GRAW is an awesome game. although, you CAN be killed with one shot.

Yup. I can't put it down.

Nothing like any other shooter i reckon, but all IMO of course.

another good one is call of dutie 2 now that the new patch has now come out for it,

 

£359!!

I paid £500 for it the first day it came out with PGR3, Perfect Dark Zero, Call of Duty 2 and Condemned, which by the way, condemned is the scariest fucking game i've ever played..

Call of Duty is awesome, well it was until i played GRAW.

I got ridge racer 'on the cheap', ahem! its pish i think, but alright for nearly nothing.

Get onto Live, and get your arse kicked by some saddo american who spends 24/7 on it.

My gamertag is aptly named Davie360.

sad but true

 

Its true, as soon as you spawn you have some dude by the name of some greek god '0wning' you.

Winds me up, but then i just laugh it off, then you get the guys who take it WAY too seriously.

 

Can someone post a pic of a uk plug/powerpack for the 360 because i dont understand what it looks like, on my ps2 its just a lead like one that plugs into a portable stereo and the normal 3pin plug

guess the 360 needs more currant or something.

 

imaloverofcars

i prefer to play pink pool @ home with her indoors

just buy the things to piss her off

and imm a gadget junkie

AND SHES FAT AND UGLY

must change my password "right now "

 

I dont play these games online myself but even little online games like yahoo pool i somtimes play, its exactly the same story there with regards to people who take it too seriously, i mean yes i like to win but i dont curse at my oppenant and call them names just because im losing(like they sometimes do)

 

Let it all out why dont you!


And here was me thinking you just liked playing games

 

this is the badboy



its HUGE and weighs a ton




Q: Why is the Xbox 360 power supply so large?





A: To ward off evil spirits. The Xbox 360 is a portal to another dimension where magic still exists and people travel by unicorn. If the enormous power brick -- if it were food, it could feed a small village for years -- is not used, consumers may encounter disastrous -- disastrously hilarious that is -- results. It is Microsoft's desire to ward off all bad manja, and avoid tricky law suits. Please worship at the altar of the brick.



Truth is, because of the need for "clean power," and because of the additional heat the power supply outputs, it made sense to make the unit separate. Makes it a pain to haul back and forth to a friend's house, but makes the main unit quieter (less fans), more compact, and cooler. Hope you can hide it with all your other TV cords...




oh and picked up GRAW today AWESOME

 

what planet you on? the xbox sounds like a jumbo jet on take off all the time! lol

a good game is oblivion, got it the other day and the world is HUGE!

 

Badcompany & Adam Ash - thanks guys

Chris Honeywell - good theory but our plugs here are 2 pin similar to french and all moulded onto the cable with no way of opening the plug so the only option is to switch the whole cord.

They do 2 deals here with one of the big stores. One is $847 and the other is $938. There is interest free on each for 18 months. I got the $847 one which came with a game of my choice although was supposed to be PGR2, a second controller and those ugly ass face plates. The face plates were out of stock so I traded them for a 64mb memory card.

Will be sold within 18 months anyway.

Only downside I have found is how noisy it is, more like a PC fan.

Loving the wireless controllers.
