No it wont work because different places in the world have different electrical volts and if you take your xbox there it might either explode or it wont have enough energy.

There are three different television broadcast formats in the world: NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. Each of these are incompatible with each other. The U.S. uses NTSC, so you need to find out what the country you're going to uses for it to show up on the screen. Then there's the power plugs. Most countries use different shaped plugs and you'll need adapters to plug it in. Last is voltage. The U.S. uses 110 and some countries use 250, plug in your system and it gets fried instantly. You'll need a converter. So, if you the country you're going to uses NTSC you're OK you can always adapt the other things. If it doesn't there's nothing you can do.
