Yeah, saw it happen at work once when a coder at an old company I was at (Headfirst)accidentally plugged a US Xbox devkit into the 240 UK plug, there was a slight pop, but otherwise nothing dramatic...

The producer from Bethesda who had flown over all the way from the US was far less impressed though... (You might actually have heard of him, at the time he was some fairly new guy at Bethesda called Todd... ;) )
