No, the PSU isn't dual voltage, you'd probably blow the US PSU that way.
You need either a stepdown or a UK PSU.

^^^ He won't be using a UK PSU on a US 360, he'll be using a UK PSU on a US 360. I heard that works instead of getting a step-down.

He specifically mentioned a UK power lead as opposed to a UK power brick or UK PSU. A UK PSU on a US machine is fine.

What you are saying is that I cant use a uk plug lead on a us power brick, So I need a uk power brick and uk power lead to use on my us 360? .

That's correct

UK power brick and power lead can be used on my Japanese 360. Got it.

However, not being terribly clued up on this new fangled electricity business I just want to put my mind at rest:

Can I use a Japanese power brick and powerlead with a stepdown on a PAL 360?

[Geezer]

Yes.

Ta. That's what I thought but my natural paranoia took over!
