    Import Gamecube with Euro Power supply

    I have oredered a US Gameube of ebay. I heard that Step down converter is not needed, beacuse euro power supply outputs the same voltage. Can anyone Confirm this? Is euro power supply all I need?

      Yup that's right. Since the power supply is external (it's the black box in the middle of the power cord) and not in the console you can just swap it for a European one.

        Have you tested it? I really don't want to risk my Gamecube...

          Yup - I've tried this out when I had my friend's PAL GameCube at my house (ready to go on eBay).

              Unfortunately not, the power connectors are different.

                  Hmm, not sure. You could try Nintendo themselves:

                  Nintendo Service Centre
                  Codestorm House
                  Walton Road

                  Telephone: 0870 6060 247 (Calls are charged at the National Rate to the caller)
                  Alternatively you could pick up a GC from Argos for ?80 with a game and a memcard and sell all the other bits off separately

                    Heh. You waited 1.5 hours before getting impatient, on a sunday morning when most people are still in bed. Chill. Next time try jumping into our irc channel #ntsc-uk for a quicker answer.
