I need some help. I left the power adapter and power cables to my Xbox360 at my in-laws house this weekend. It wouldn't be a big deal except that they live in the sticks (up north) about 3 hours away and I won't see them for some time. Is there an aftermarket or OEM power adapter that I can easily purchase until I get my original adapter back?

Any recommendations? A Google search yielded some pretty expensive results (ie. $99 for a 3rd party adapter). I thought about buying a new Xbox360 and "borrowing" the adapter for the meantime and then returning the system (unused of course). But Im not sure if you can return a system if the box has been opened - plus the whole "moral" thing... Any suggestions out there?

Thanks!

Ask your in-laws to mail it back to you and offer to pay the postage?

Agreed, you're probably talking $10 tops for postage. If they are really strapped for cash/don't feel like doing it or whatever have them send it COD. I think that'll cost you a little more but it'll still be cheaper than buying a replacement.

Next day shipping, pay your in-laws, shouldn't be more than $10. Less hassle and no moral quandary.

Put on your batman cape and steal one from your neighbor.

Overnight shipping will cost considerably more than that.

depends how close in proximity he is to those relatives.


often, if its in the same state, priority mail will get there the next day.

Get em mailed back. Don't pay the high prices.

Have them put it in a 2-day box. Shipping and box is like $9, tops.

If they only live three hours away I can't see it taking more than a day to get to you with Priority mail.

i shipped a guitar to another person in the same state by priority mail, and that came out to 9 bucks.....for a friggin guitar.

I think that actually took about 36 hours, though

I'd like to know how that was possible given the size and weight of a guitar, but whatever.

The post office sells flat rate $8.95 priority boxes but you could probably ship a power cable priority slightly cheaper than that. In state it should get there within two days.

it was my own box

the other guitar i shipped came to 106 inches, and their limit is 108 inches. That one cost 11 to ship, priority.

the second guitar was in a smaller fender box.

but yea, I got delivery confirmation for those too
