Figured I'd ask in here since it sort of creeps over into other areas.
I got a new office at home I'm setting up, gonna probably be carting the 360 upstairs and back downstairs to the living room every so often. I want to be able to just unplug the power-brick and the 360 and take the whole shebang upstairs and plug it in. The cord from the power-brick to the wall is not able to be retrieved to be moved.
Looking online I can't find any sort of replacement cord I could buy to use upstairs, instead all I can find is 3rd party power-brick packages that run a small fortune. Would any sort of regular PC power cord work for this? The plug into the brick is a pretty standard port and some people are saying it shouldn't matter whats going in as long as it's a heavy-duty AC power cord going into the thing.
Hmm, the first one has a notch they say you need but my 360's power brick doesn't have it. I have a regular PC power cord that fits into it right now, I just know nothing about electricity and voltages to know whether I'm playing with fire or not.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907635?sd=xbox has a bunch of information on the power brick and cords and suggests contacting xbox support if you need a replacement. I'd try giving them a call to see if you can get the real thing.
