US Game Boy Micro - converter or adapter?

[Lawrence Everglades]

Just bought a North American Game Boy Micro and was wondering,

do I need a travel adapter (a la http://www.amazon.co.uk/US-UK-Plug-T...1580211&sr=8-1 )


or a voltage converter (such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/45W-USA-UK-V...1580370&sr=8-1 )

Thanks

You'll need the second one, the Voltage Converter. You can only use a travel adapter if the AC adapter says something like 100~240v on it, if it says 110v, (which I'm sure it does), then you need the Voltage Converter.

You could also consider just replacing the US adapter with a UK one:

Both UK & US Micro psu's output the same voltage (5.2v) so there's absolutely no risk of damaging your Micro.

I think GAME used to sell them too so it might be worth checking your local store if you want to avoid postal delays etc.
