US Xbox 360 to Ireland
I recently came to Ireland and brought my Xbox with me. I bought an adapter for it but I'm not sure it will work with the Xbox or fry the power brick. Here is the link.

I believe it is not compatible. Ireland uses the European standard of 230volts (or 240v) 50Hertz. The US uses 120v 60Hz. Looking at http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/console/power-supply it looks like the xboxes ship with a different external PSU for each area. If you plug a 100v PSU into 240V power it's likely to blow up. Your best bet is to buy a new external powersupply.

Is Xbox 360 region locked?
The Xbox and the Xbox 360 are region-locked, but some games are region-free and will play in any region. Digital content through Xbox Live on the Xbox 360 and original Xbox are also region-locked, such as DLC, movies, and apps.Can you play us Xbox 360 games in the UK?

Regardless of what console you are using, you will always be able to download your account to it as long as it's a profile that's in Xbox LIVE's enabled countries list (Germany and United States are both on the enabled list so you should have absolutely no problem doing that).Can I use a US Xbox in the UK?
Your US Xbox will work in the UK with the correct adapter. Check the Xbox power box and make sure it says it can take 240 volts which im pretty sure it can (My UK Xbox can take 110V for the US so im guessing they are all generic). If so then its just the actual plug adapter you need.XBOX POWER SUPPLY BLOW UP
