    Before i gonna start this let me blame myself first
    !^#~//*^^!/*^?^?/*!!#,!,:?-~_~_#♥*##_

    i bought the kinect sensor from adverts and i just received from the guy

    i was pretty excited to play but when i wanted to connect its not suit for usb port....

    yes i have old xbox360 and i just found out that i need the PSU to use it on old one ...

    and i look up the price of PSU and it more than 20 euro ..

    so i guess its better give it back to the guy this kinect and buy new standalone kinect..

    i pay 70 for kinect itself and if i gonna buy the PSU it will costs over 100
    and i saw they r selling kinect with dance central with 110 in HMV

    what a day haha

    The PSU's come with the kinect. He should have it, so ask for it. Or just return it to him

    Well, the one i linked you is probably the better one, since it's in the UK and not china. (shipping would be quicker) and there would be no need for any extra adapters like the Chinese ones.

    And as meesared said, that cable is all you need. You plug the plug into the mains in your wall, the plug the kinect sensor into the orange port on the cable and then put the USB from the cable into the back of your xbox. simple as that.
