Kinect Power Adapter for Xbox 360 Elite: Not Needed

No separate Kinect power adapter needed for Xbox 360 Elite.

Why

• Xbox 360 Elite (and all 360 S/E models) supply power to Kinect via USB port.
• Kinect draws ~1.5A from console's 12V rail.
• Original "Kinect Power Supply" only for original Xbox 360 (non-Slim) when using Kinect with separate wall outlet—but Elite has revised power delivery.

Setup

1. Plug Kinect USB into console rear port.
2. No additional cables or adapters required.
3. Console power brick handles total load.

Note

Original "fat" Xbox 360 (pre-Slim) required the Kinect AC adapter for Kinect v1. Xbox 360 S and E (including Elite) do not.
