My Xbox experience so far!

During my every visit overseas i have this habit of buying new gadgets , last week i was in sfo and went and bought this nice little xbox.The store sales guy assured me the warranty is international and microsoft provides 3 yr coverage for its infamous ring of death issue.

Since it was my last day of leaving i didn't had a chance to check the console.once back home i realize it doesn't take 240v grrr! I went n bought a ac/ac step down converter and plugged in but all that console did was blinking 3 lights dumbly. Now i didn't want to play around the console i called up ms support they duely informed me warranty is region specific and the best part is yet to come "they don't sell power adapter separately!!" perfect i thought i just bought a $200+ brick! the support guy told me he will explore available options and get back i am hoping a positive reply!

I agree ms can not be responsible for what the store guy told me but how much effort it takes to put a bold label saying this appliance works only in US and warranty is region specific

How much effort it takes to provide a power adapter that works in every region! Even a 20$ shaving kit has that option , i think it is pretty dumb


----latest update - MS Replaced the Power adapter with Indian version Free of Cost! Man I love them :) I have n't got much chance to play with xbox due to work but my initial feeling is pretty impressive
