Hey, I'm in need of a little help here.I'm on the verge of having my parents pick me up a US Xbox on their holiday,i live in the UK and was hoping someone here can help me out. Will it work in the UK? Will i be able to use my current UK profile and play online etc? Will any of my PAL games work? Will it work on my TV? I've read to many mixed comments elsewhere and its lead me to complete confusion,hope to hear from you all or anyone who currently uses a US Xbox in the UK. Thanks mcd19

Yes you can use your account and play online.
It will work in the UK but the power supply needs an adaptor.
Only the region free PAL games will work (Playasia is a good place to check)
Yes it will work on yours and any TV.

Any uk power brick with equal or higher power rating will work fine.

Any tv will work with an xbox as the console outputs natively in 60hz.

50hz is optional only if the console is pal

I have an ntsc box, I use a uk brick and a uk tv. As stated as long as you tv supports the refresh rates you won't have a problem. Unless you have some god awful tesco value tv, you should be alright.
