Thought I would bump this thread...
I too am going to SK soon and would like to take my US Xbox.
After reading this thread I am confused about the ways of doing this....
so all we need to do is get a Korean xbox brick? Or is there another way? |
it's either a korean power brick, or the step-down transformer. make sure u bring BOTH parts of ur cable with u to b safe. that is, the power brick, AND the cord that goes from the brick to ur 360. |

Okay, I will bring all my US Xbox stuff and look for either a Korean power brick or a step down transformer when I get there. I gather that the step down transformer is easier to find than the Korea power brick? Can a step down transformer be found in common stores? |

look at Boffo97's post for info on getting a korean power brick. look at my last post on page 2 for the step-down transformer info. best options are a neighbourhood specialty shop. internet is probably 2nd best(if u don't have an okay korean level and don't want to wait a few days). not too sure about the bigbox stores. |

Do you remember where in Busan you went? I am going to Busan so maybe this could be easily solved for me  |

pretty sure i bought mine to the right of lotte dept store in seomyeon; however, i think that place was bought out by an apartment builder. my wife said there are lots of shops in the beom-il dong area, but i'm sure you'll b able to find one in almost any neighbourhood in busan. again, look for 철물점.

show a pic of this, or similar, to a shop owner. it's a 2kva one, which is what i have, but as another poster said, u'd b fine with a 1kva, i believe.

actually, just spotted one at my local emart today, but it was only 500W(technically, all u really need) and way overpriced at 40,000won. i still recommend online(some bosses are nicer than others when it comes to those kinds of requests) over all else, or one of those local shops i mentioned. |
