Everybody seemed to say no quite quickly. Maybe so. I'm no pro, but I can give you the readings off of my XBOX 360 which was purchased and is being used in Japan. Model: DPSN-186EB A Input AC: 100-127V~5A, 47-63Hz Output DC: 203W 12V---16.5A(16,5A), 5Vsb---1A Vendor: E131881 MS P/N: (then there is a bar code and then this number under the barcode) X808155-003 Looking at the question in the link below it looks like it is the same one that I have. Assuming that this question was from somebody in the States then it seems that the one you have will work in Japan. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080223194800AAf2Usa One problem that you might have is that most places in Japan only have two-prong outlets whereas in the States the outlets are three-prong. You should get one of those cheap adapters that go from three to two. If the cord going from the brick to the wall is already a two-prong plug, then you should be good to go. It seems that both two-prong and three-prong were sold in the US. I hope this helps.
