downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hey guys, i was just sitting here wondering, would it be safe to take my Xbox abroad with me next week? Its something to do when we are bored on a night... I mean like, would it be ok to have it in the centre of my bag, wrapped in, say, a towel or something, so it doesnt get damaged, or would the back get thrown around too much that it'd break?cheers x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Make sure you take tape so your red ring points to the correct side of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 With something like that I reckon it'd be best taking it with you in your hand luggage, but check first with the company your flying with for any size/weight regulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Also if you are going to the Southern Hemisphere, be aware that the discs will spin in the opposite direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Also if you are going to the Southern Hemisphere, be aware that the discs will spin in the opposite direction.Yep, same with toilets. Everything that happens in a loo in the southern hemisphere is the exact opposite of what you'd expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Mate took his in his hand luggage a couple of years back, only thing he had a problem with was the luggage checker types thinking it was some kind of bomb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-i-t-c-h Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yer water spinning the other way is bollocks!Bags get really cold in storage, we are always told to carry our camera equipment in hand luggage because of a) the heat and the throwers each end.Try in your hand luggage, maybe take a bag and the xbox in its box, so its obvious what it is to airport staff? Check weight restrictions because they weight an effing ton and if your flying on a cheap airline they are normally pretty strict on weight.

F-Stop Junkie Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Don't forget about voltage differences where ever you're going, plus the different ways you might have to connect it up to a TV. Do France now have PAL compatible tellys, or are they still SECAM?Anyway, why not leave the Xbox behind and spend your evenings going out, seeing stuff, interacting with the locals? Or if you're a night owl, read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 It's funny when you see them transporting the bags. They literally don't give a toss and just lob the bags so hard.Have you a PS2 Slimline? They're the best for travelling. If you've not seen one before you'd be surprised, i know most people would of though! The PS2 holds decent games too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
