There is a part of me that says, it's not worth it.  However, to each his own.

Don't take that as I disapprove, not that my approval matters, but I'm just undecided on whether or not it's worth it.

On one hand, that's a lot of effort and hassle, but on the other hand you're getting more for your money. 

I don't know if I have the level of patience you do when it comes to how one spends their money.  I'm generally a convience guy.  For example, I recently had the opportunity to save $100 if I waited to get my car fixed a little more than a week after I could get it fixed elsewhere.  I chose spending the $100 to get it sooner rather than saving $100 and getting it later.

Seriously.  If I was in Brazil and buying a PS4, I'd be the guy who buys it for R4,000, not importing it for R2,000. 

If the Xbox One power brick isn't 120/240 60/50Hz compatible, then you should be able to purchase one through Xbox Support or the Microsoft Store on online (I haven't checked).  Not sure if I would trust what's available on Amazon or eBay, but again, that's a personal thing.  Not a fan of knock-offs.

I totally agree convenience has a price and for many things I'm ready to pay more.... now that being said in that case I don't see the hassel since instead of ordering from amzon.fr I did from amazon.com I ordered tuesday and getting it friday with amazon.fr I would have gotten it thursday at best... so I might waste 24h tops...

now it is not even guaranteed I will have to pay duties... 1 out of 3 shippment goes through.... and until now I never did pay them... so all in all I might end up saving close to 200 bucks for a 24h delay tops.... with no added hassel

well for the brick I have already a local store that does all the goodies you need for consoles and PC.... http://www.assentek.com/ they get official parts they just don't seem to have the new ones yet.... but I don't really care, like I said I have a 3000 watt converter and the brick is 60/50 mhz so it will work I was just looking for future updates... since I plan on getting a new TV next year and will try to have a 220/110V this time, and move the current one to the bed room with the power converter since it is a 110V only.... but worst case scenario I guess I'll just run a cable somehow... it's not like I don't have a giant trash bag full of them waiting to be used lol :)
