So XBox One is selling great yet some stock comes and go online every day. I didn't plan to get one this year because I wasn't expecting MS to be able to provide stock at a steady pace like that... So I might try to grab one of them in one of those flash sales online, but before that I need a couple question answered

-any of you, US owners could you please take a few second and give me the input specification on the power brick. Since I plan on importing from the US I'd like to know if I'll have to swap power bricks like on the 360???

-also could you give me the size of the box it came in so I can get a quote on international parcel shipment???

those are my main questions


now secondary questions:


-if anybody has an import from an other country than theirs at the moment have you had any issues with XBL or anything???

-should I expect any issues with it knowing that I have a US XBL account a US bank account linked to the XBL acct and I am behind a VPN located in the US, and that everything is working flawlessly for me on the 360 at the moment????

thanks for the answers and enjoy your ultimate entertainement machine, I know I will (as soon as I can get one)

Why are you importing into France from the US?  The Xbox One launched in France and it is available there, in Italy, Germany, Spain, and the UK. 

The cost of shipping and import duties surely must be more than the cost difference between US dollars and the Euro, or is it that great?

All Xbox Ones are region free, and all Xbox LIVE accounts can be changed between different LIVE regions.

I would think it'd have to be cheaper buying it in France though than buying it and shipping it from the US.  Or am I missing something?

not for me since I don't pay exchange rate I have a US account with enough money on it from when I use to live and work in the US... I don't pay duties either or at least I never had to for now.... so getting an XB is about 600 bucks with shipping rounded up for me,  XB one costs 525 euros in france which is a little more than 700 USD

 

I might not even have to ship since I go there at least once a year and I have friends visiting me here.... so I use the opportunity to have them bring stuff with them :D

the only device that is not from the US in my living room is my cable box :D
