Hi there, sorry if this is in the wrong section but I couldn't find an Xbox One thread.

I am from New Zealand and I'm currently holidaying in Portland, USA. We saw a cheap deal at Microsoft USA selling a new Xbox One S 500 GB console with FIFA 17 for only $299 USD, far cheaper than in New Zealand. We purchased it, as the Microsoft store guy informed us that the Xbox One isn't region locked and should work in New Zealand. We have a transformer to sort out the voltage issue, however we are wondering if there will be any issues using our Xbox one in New Zealand if we plug it into a US (NTSC) TV while over here and use it, before taking it back to New Zealand and using it?

Urgent replies needed, help would be appreciated!!!

Not really, just make sure you know to how force the xbox to run through the "initial setup" again once you get back to NZ because it will have to calibrate to run on your TV's different HZ or voltage or whatever is different about your TVs over there.

And make sure you have that power/plug adapter so you can actually power it on.
