I originally tried to plug my US Xbox power cable through a converter, but it overloaded the cable and broke. Microsoft's advice to me was buy a Belgian Xbox, but they never answered my question about the compatability of a US Xbox 360 and a European Xbox 360 power cable.I appreciate any help I may get on this question.
Euro is 220v to 250v or thereabouts, U.S. is only 110v. That's why your old PSU blew up. You needed to buy a step down voltage converter for avout 15 Euros or so. The Xbox PSU itself will handle the mains for whichever country it was designed for and convert the power to a DC voltage of 12v for any Xbox 360.
