Power Supply for Xbox 360

Comment: For a power adapter that costs almost one third the price of your system you'd expect miracles. This power brick is more like the plagues of Egypt. I've had mine for a year now. Its had to be fixed twice. You have to pay for shipping to the facility and supply a receipt to get it fixed. The first replacement they sent me was very loud and noisy. It burned out within two months. I'm waiting for their latest response to my problem. You're better off buying another Xbox than buying this power brick. At least then you'll have plenty of spares and won't have to deal with an extremely difficult to find return policy.

Comment: If I had read the reviews on this product -- before buying it in a store -- I would have thought twice. Having lost part of my original XBox 360 power cord, I was desperate to find a replacement.
The Intec power cord worked for about 5 months... then recently a red light came on, on the brick portion, and the XBox stopped (in the middle of a game).

Now, once again, I have to replace the cord and brick... only then will I be able to see if the XBox console was damaged in any way by this defective power cord. WHY should a power adapter in this price range FAIL, if it was properly manufactured? I notice that others have encountered the same problem.

For about $100 more than the Intec power cord, I could have bought a new XBox 360 Arcade, with an improved motherboard...plus a modified power cord: that would have been a better deal all around.

In order to find a power cord that I can trust (or which will be covered by a warranty) I have asked Microsoft to send me an official XBox 360 power cord and block, which I am pleased to say, is being provided free of charge.

Comment: I bought this power adapter and it came missing the actual cord you plug into the wall. The adapter is useless without it. I had to purchase the power cord seperatelty and incurred more shipping charges. I'm sure some sellers actually include the power cord, so do shop around.

Comment: product came as described... works just fine, great price, great service will do business with again...

Comment: even with a 430w power supply I got 3 red rings with in 5 min. Connected original power adapter and had no more issues. this product is for emergency use only.
