Do they make a 2 prong? highlyyy doubt it.

How can you not tell from the images? Im looking at the second image from google images and can see 3 lines (the female ends) showing.

i was under the impression that they made a newer model or something with only 2 prongs:confused:

Im quite sure my 360 is a 3-pronger. Why didnt yours come with one?

All the 360's at my work (about 9) are 2 prongs.

.shrug. seems like an unsolveable issue without the actual brick in my hands .. i think i'll just take a chance and get a $5 3 pronger off ebay. should work even if i do end up getting a 2er

thanks all for your input

you can clearly see in the pic that it's 3 prong. I've got like 10 of those things at my house.

Ah yes. You are correct ghost.

there is a two and a three prong PSU. the 2 prong is a newer version...although I, and we, have no idea how to tell which you have. From what I was reading I dont think there is any difference besides the prong number.

I'm just wondering why you can't tell which one you need by looking at the brick?
If it has two you need two if it has three you need three......

it hasn't arrived yet, and i'm sure i'll be wanting to turn it on once it comes

when it arrives, grab one off another electro device that you can do without while you're playing.
