Advice on shipping a console internationally

Hey guys. I've been living in South America for a little over a year and recently decided that it's going to be more or less permanent, so I want my brother to ship my XBox 360 down here to me from the States. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it an absolutely awful idea? Am I better off just buying a new one down here (and consequently all new games)?

Thanks for any thoughts/advice/help/sarcasm.

Wrap it in bubblewrap and box it.

Or just buy a new one at twice the price.

499 bucks 3ds FTL >: (

So maybe I shouldn't be worried about it getting damaged? I guess with sufficient insurance coverage then I'd be okay either way.

the bubble wrap is the most important, fact that you cant have too many bubble wraps :P

How much is it going to cost to ship?

Whoa!

If you plug that Xbox into the Chilean power supply without a transformer, the console will be toast!

:o

Refer to this handy table detailing the attributes of various countries' power supplies.

You'll notice that Chile delivers electricity at 220V, whereas the US uses only 120V.
