While you have the time, you should try to get a 220V XBox Adapter from ebay. Try from www.ebay.co.uk... or the Chinese sellers shipping out from Hong Kong and China.

Trust me, it'll save you the trouble of going to Dhaka Stadium and finding an adapter that may not match the exact specs. Its extremely hard to find appropriate power cables for things like these in Dhaka. Either you'll get lucky, or you'll have to solder together something to make things run right. I am speaking from experience in that I had to shell out Tk.750 for an adapter that doesnt exactly meet the requirements for the logitech joystick my friend gave me.

See these ebay links:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Xbox-360-Power-S...mZ260363033083 This will be a steal if you can win it - Low Price, Low shipping.

http://cgi.ebay.com/XBOX-360-110-V-o...mZ270343603246

You will however find bulky converters similar to these in size and shape at Dhaka Stadium though, and they'll set you back Tk.1200+ each. Alternatively you could buy a higher watt transformer like this one from ebay.
