Travelling to Canada later this week. Want to buy Xbox for christmas; will the xbox I buy in Canada work in Ireland?

Thanks

The power supply should tolerate our voltages but you'd have to double check that it goes up to 240v. Irish games and dvds won't work in the machine though and you'd have to have a tv that supports ntsc broadcasting standard (most tvs do nowadays).

Xbox I bought in Ireland didn't work in Canada because of the power supply. A new power supply prooved near impossible to find and a transformer with enough watts was nearly the price of an xbox

You don't need a step down for canada, the transformer supports 120v to the best of my knowledge.

Didn't work for me

I think you would be safer just getting one here!

Pointless, most of the games are region locked so you would have to get your games from USA/Canada too.
