Hello. I bought 3DS version and i was wondering can 3DS portal of Power work in 360 version of game? I know that it works on PC version since i tried it because my friend has PC version. I know the guy who has 360 version and he told me he can sell me game cheaper, but you dont get portal of power because his portal broke. I am asking is 3DS portal compatible on 360?

Unless you buy a special adapter, which I'm only presuming exists, to hook a USB cord into, nope.

The 3ds Game comes with a USB cable so you can Connect it to your computer. Xbox360 has two USB ports so i guess it can. You can always tell him that you want to try.

thanks for info. i guess that usb cable came in 3ds pack with reason. to enable cross platform. i will try it and tell you guys how it went

I dunno about the 360 version, but I can confirm the 3DS version works on the Wii. I use it often to save on batteries.

The XBox does not have USB Slots or the unwired portal would work fine with it.

The 360 DOES have USB ports. It's how the wired controllers connect and the system supports USB flash drives for external storage.

Have you tried it yourself, or you just think that because you dont know about USB slots on 360?

The 3DS portal won't work with the 360. The 360 portal is different from the others and you can only use it with the 360 and the Skylanders Universe game.

But 360 has USB slot and 3DS portal has USB cable. If it works on Wii, why not on 360? Have you tried it yourself?

^ Edit your posts instead of quoting yourself. And I don't think Dark would give false information.

I know it works with the PS3, but that's not what you asked.

I have 360, wii and 3DS versions and have tried them all

The 3DS works on 3DS ,Wii and PC
The Wii works on Wii and PC
Tee 360 only works on 360

Hope that explains it for you

so what happens when you conect 3DS portal to 360? other person said 3DS works on PS3

It just doesn't work with the game. Only the Xbox 360 portal works with the Xbox 360. No other portals have the correct drivers/firmware to work on the 360 version of Skylanders. With multiple people saying the same thing, I don't get why that is so hard to understand? ...don't believe us, then just try it out yourself.

I have both the 360 version and the 3DS versions of the game. I can confirm 100% that the 3DS portal does NOT work with the xbox 360. There is a chip in all xbox 360 controllers and peripherals that identifies them to the system, and the chip is not built into the 3DS version of the portal, so the 360 will not recognize it. The 3DS portal will work on every other version of the game.

"And for the Xbox 360, it's especially interesting because I'll have to work around the Infineon security chip that protects the Xbox 360 from third-party USB peripherals. " brandonw

the 360 uses the infineon security chip, thats why only the 360 portal (which has the security chip in it) works on the 360, and why no other consoles portals will work.

hope that clears that up for everyone.

in other words the x360 sucks...

^ it makes it less magic but on the upside no batteries or hooking it up too the consle

well, that sucks alot. Looks Like i will get Wii version

In simpleton terms, the 360 portal requires two "keys" all the others require one. This is why the 360 is wired, Microsoft allows hardly any (2 that I know of) wireless third-party peripherals and controllers. Also it would eat through batteries like crazy. Remember Guitar hero? Xbox was the only consol that the controllers couldn't work with the others USB. (the PS3 used Bluetooth, so that wasnt easily interchangeable, but with a little experimentation, it could work on a Bluetooth enabled PC). Although the 3DS version does not work on Xbox, it does, however, basically serve as an extension for the Xbox portal (if you put the 3ds portal within 2-3 inches of the Xbox portal, the Xbox will register the figures you put on the 3DS portal. This will work even if your 3DS auto shuts down, or if your Xbox portal is broken. I assume this is due to the same technology that runs the light core figures.

^it's ause it sensors in the area that's why they can still be in the box and use em

i got a game for wii and 3DS portal works perfect. Shame that 360 version only works with 360 portal. I really wanted achivments on my Xbox Live account. ah well, at least Wii version is more fun because of controlls and the game looks like something for wii. dont you guys agree?

Oh. I just assumed it had no USB ports because I haven't played my 360 in AAAAAGES
