Am about to buy a 60 GB XBOX 360 ( US VERSION with 110 volt power adapter ) ... the ones that started coming after AUG 2008 ( JASPER MODEL ).. now they have a different kind of power adapter .. the old one wont plug in them ...

TropicalRajput Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 yes there is .. but now in INDIA ..... am shipping it from US ... and y do u say it will not be compatible .. any solid reason for it .. ?? or just huessing !! The first Xbox 360 (Xenon) needs a 203W power supply. Falcon needs a 175W power supply but can also work with the 203W unit (it just doesn't need to draw that much power so the 203W unit is overkill, but it'll work). Jasper needs 150W but can work with a 203W and a 175W. In other words, the Xbox 360 power supplies are forwards but not backwards compatible.

Bulovski Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 What he said. If you manage to find the Jasper thread here, there are pics of the power inlets for all three consoles. There are more gaps in the newer inlets to accommodate the older adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT the thing is that these new power adapter that comes with jasper model(only after aud 2008) .. they are really reallly not so heavy ! very light .. thats wt worries me ... there must have been some changes on it ,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed my physics exam with really good marks. Your old PSU will work fine. To make it clear, as long as the old PSU accepts 220V~240V (India) you will be fine. If your old PSU was bought from US or Japan (110V) then you need a step down transformer as well. It should say on your old PSU whether it accepts 220V or 110V.

Xeno Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 u are right bout the connector of the power brick,theyve changed it to look diff but it is mostly the same n should fit into ur new 360.The problem lies in the power that the old adapter is supplying more power than ur new 360 needs.I guess the new jasper only needs a max of 150W whereas ur adapter can supply 200W,but as far as i know the adapter will only supply power according to to console's requirement.But i guess theyve also made a lil change to the current ratings n that MIGHT cause some problems.Though im not too sure bout this.
