Default Traveling With Xbox

I have a question. I recently bought an Xbox and I'm planning to take it to Sweden this summer when I go home for two months.

When flying, what is the best way to travel with the Xbox? To check it in with my luggage, or you bring it with my carry-on?

The best way is to not take it at all. You're going to Sweden for the summer! Don't spend it playing videogames!

If you do want to bring it, you might have some security issues carrying it on. I'd put it in the luggage surrounded by lots of padding made from your clothing.

What he said...I think there is also a way to make your game saves on the cloud as well. I don't know if there are regional issues associated with game saves, but if there is a nerd who would know it is Hack.

I had the Xbox in the original box, with a ton of padding surrounding it, worked perfectly fine when it got to my destination.

One thing just in case you don't know, if you buy a game there it won't work with a North American xbox. I don't think anyway (aren't the PAL?).

Find a way to insert it into your anus so that you can get by security with no questions asked.

You're going to the land of nordic blondes, and you want to bring your gaming console.

Are you fat?

carry-on with the actual xbox, all the cables can go into your luggage to minimize the carry on. just put it into a grocery bag or something little and it can be your second carry on that goes under your seat.

check the power supply too to make sure that the xbox can handle the 240V and 50hz too, I brought my wii over and the plug only takes in North American voltages, I thought I could use one of those travel voltage adapters, but apparently it doesn't adjust the frequency which screws up the wii.

Ended up having to grab a european power supply for the wii to make it work.
