Where can I buy a power converter in Paris?

Question

Hi.

I need to buy a power converter in Paris France, (so that I may use my USA version Xbox360). However, I really have no idea where to start. What Parisian electronics/technology stores would carry power converters/adapters etc? I'm looking for the French equivalent of Radioshack.

Thank you!

Answer 1

I f you want you can buy a power converter in any big superstores.... FNAC, Virgin, Darty,

Bus the problem will be to connect your XBox to the TV because, even with the power converter, the standard for the pictures on TV is not the same NTSC in USA and Secam in France (except if you have an expensive Dual-mode TV).
