I had to replace mine a month ago and it would take too long and just bought one off ebay, the piece of shit fan never stops working even when the consile is on standby.

I will have to "replace" the original one with MS now 😒

Yea, buying third party bricks that don't have Microsoft approval is not really advisable. I mean, this is a power supply, if one component is done on the cheap, it could fry your whole console. Worst case scenario, the whole thing could be a fire hazard.
Some may work, but I personally would never get one that isn't at least licensed by Microsoft.

Why would you want another one?
How the fuck can you lose it?

During moving between homes and such. Or travel.

You could, but it's risky. Read my above post.

Things get lost.

Nintendo will not sell you a new gamepad for the WiiU either, they force you to send the original in.

Some guy had his stolen in here, and Nintendo made him send them the police report to prove it.

What the hell is up with that?

That's incredibly stupid. So if it gets lost or something you can never get a new one? And you're not allowed to have 2? Wow.

I move my xbox one out of my house every year for family holidays and such, if I was to leave my power pack in a cottage somewhere i'd be screwed.

That sounds like something Peter Moore would say.

And mine just started to sound like a motor engine. Wtf.

Hey gang, I have an update on this. I have worked w/ the Support team and we've enabled the option to purchase additional Xbox One power supply units via https://myservice.xbox.com

I have not had a chance to check it out myself yet - but the team just emailed me to let me know they have added that option to the online tool.

Thanks!

Here is a screenshot I just took:

FWIW, if your power supply failed inside your WiiU or PS4, you'd have to send the whole console in or void your warranty to fix it. Obviously due to internal power supplies in both.

The Wii U has an external power supply - in fact it has two, as there is a separate one for the gamepad.

I got a new one when the fake Chinese PSU that came with the Xbone I got off Craigslist exploded. Was $40 and came in a few days. This was over a year ago though so terms might have changed.
