I have a question. I recently bought a step-down transformer for my xbox 360. I was simply wondering how much electricity this thing takes? Does it take more than say, a Korean Xbox plugged straight into the socket, or does it take the same amount, or less?

the US power will totally NOT work. Even if you connect it to a step-down tranformer it will will blow a circuit.


Do you ever know what you're talking about? How, exactly, is a transformer providing an output of 110V going to blow a 110V circuit if it's not overloaded?

You can quickly find out by reading the label stuck next to where the power cord goes in.
