This is an update to the earlier
post on my experiences with getting my XBOX 360 US version work in India, it was
basically how I got a 220V Power Adaptor for XBOX 360 in India.
There are two options to get a 220V (India) Power Adaptor for your XBOX 360:
-
The XBOX 360 220V Adaptor I was using stopped working, may be because of the frequent
voltage fluctuations in Chennai for last few months. Hence I went back to Ritchie
Street and bought a new one. This time I made it a point to note down the shop name
for benefit of others (and may be for myself again) as this was most asked in the
comments I received for the earlier
post. I purchased a new XBOX 360 220V Power Adaptor (without warranty) for Rs.2500
+ VAT from "Shah Trading Co.", 15, Narasingapuram
Street, Off. Mount Road, Chennai - 600002; Phone: 044-2841 5874.

After this, I contacted Microsoft Support in India and asked whether they have a solution
now?. Surprisingly this time around, they right away offered a solution. They asked
me to go a near by service center in Chennai and drop the original 110V (USA) power
adaptor. Within 20-30 days of doing this, I received a replacement of a new 220V power
adaptor absolutely free. Great service by Microsoft, keep it up.
You can contact Microsoft support in India at toll-free 1800 102 1100 and
select Option 7 for XBOX support. Please keep your XBOX 360 Serial number, original
purchase invoice handy with you when you call and request them for a replacement to
make your XBOX 360 US version to work in India. Considering that officially XBOX 360
support is available only in the region you bought I was lucky to get this replacement
in India. I feel this replacement offer is a nice gesture by Microsoft and note that
it is available only for original XBOX 360 accessories (not third-parties made).
