No, that would fry his xbox's power brick since it runs off of 115v. He needs to get a 220v power brick.

Can you still get PSU from here?

Reason I ask is I can't visit the site on mobile, people have said they have managed to get a PSU from that site.

Oh, I see. My apologies then.
I managed to get one before but now I can't. They require to send my old one back for some reason.
I saw a Hong Kong seller on eBay selling legit X1 bricks and many were bought. But I am not sure it's really legit or not considering the source.

If your HDD fails, you WANT to send it in to the manufacturer for a warranty replacement, makes no sense to incur the charges. Also if your HDD fails, you will lose the data whether you have the ability to replace or not, I'm not sure where you're trying to find a benefit there. It's not a comparison buddy, simply saying that Sony should also offer external drive support because its so convenient and actually better than pulling out 500GB of already existing data, then to stuff all that data in the new drive as opposed to having a fresh and full 1TB free. Bringing it to your friends house is also pretty awesome.
Personally, if I had to pick between the 2, replaceable internal HDD vs external drive support, I would go with the latter. Over the life of the console I could have several drives stuffed with games and just pop them in at my leisure, but of course, why not both?

Excellent. I'll get started on a thread for this in a little bit.

You must be a delusional fanboy or a paid shill, because those are the only people who would have any reason to prefer the old plans.
Also, MS secretly controls every retailer's inventory in existence, so if their plans went through, every retail game would have stayed $60 for all of time, and never have a price drop. Hell, they would've raised the price to $80! Anyone who thinks they'd be able to get retail games cheaper under the old plans is also clearly a fanboy or paid shill. Thankfully, we were saved from such a harsh existence.

Weird. That seems more like things that normally would go on external footage since there's no sort of DRM stuff attached.
Well, understandably they really have to make sure everything is safe and features like this should not open doors for piracy.

At least you can still share your digital library with a friend, albeit only one you really trust.
It'll probably be out of warranty by the time it fails. You'll be incurring a cost for an inferior hard drive.
If data xfering is such a big deal for you buddy, you know you can replace the HD day 1 on the ps4 before you rack up data right? It shouldn't be a big deal. Again, multitasking.
With any hard drive, inuding the externals, you need to plan for failures, backing up, and inevitable data xferring. You can't escape it. The argument is moot.
