I have been looking for xbox 360's power specifications.I checked the official technical specs of xbox 360 and under general power requirements it says 'refer to ratings plate on power supply unit'.Now since the power supply is external,they must have the power specifications printed on the lower side of the power supply.Can someone see and let me know what is the power consumption in WATTS?There must be a number on the lower side of the power supply which says (insert number here)W. I want to know that wattage number.Can someone help?

My powerbrick says the output is 203W.

Does it say something like 'AC 110-120V 60Hz 203W'

Does that help?hmm..that does help...a bit.Your is a ntsc console right?
Both NSTC and PAL units run at 203W.
What do NSTC and PAL means?

ntsc and pal are regional standards.

Both NSTC and PAL units run at 203W.So that means the power consumption of xbox 360 is 203W?
THe actual consumption is at around 160/170w they just have 203w on the transformer so that it isn't running at maximum at all times.
Another example is that my PC adaptor is rated at 85W and yet on average it only pulls 15w.

Actually i want to import the console from the states but due to voltage differences here,i'll need a 220V-110V voltage converter(adapter).But these adapters support different wattages.So what wattage adapter should i get?
