Please note that the console is region locked for DVDs and Blu-ray movies. This means you can save quite a bit by taking out an Amazon Prime Membership and pre-ordering games from Amazon US as they offer quite a substantial discount on pre-orders.
Games from other regions such as the US or Japan may or may not work — each individual title is different as it is us to the individual publisher to decide whether or not to include the region coding in their game. A regional compatibility guide can be found here. Vice versa applies. XBox One Xbox One games are not region locked. Any game will work on any region console. Power If you're fetching a console from the UK then you won't have any power concerns, you'll just need to use a travel adaptor or change the plug to make it work in Australia.
If an AC Adapter for a console operates between V then you'll need to use a step-down transformer. For V AC adapters, use a travel adapter or change the plug depending if it's technically legal for an unlicensed electrician to change a plug in your state and V versions, again, it's just a case of using an adapter or plug change.

I sadly wasn't able to find a conclusive answer for this question, however, my tentative guess would be that it is possible. Be aware however, if you think about trading-in games in Australia that this can be slightly difficult for UK games dependant on Game and Retailer. Your account will work, but you will need to use a UK credit card to buy points and games on demand. There is no way to switch your account to Australia, it will remain a UK account.
Yes, you will be able to retain your Live account, however, you will have to buy UK Microsoft points cards in order to stock up your account, or retain a UK credit card. Microsoft will not allow you to change the nationality, even when they are at fault as I found out.
Very little difference. And don't worry about getting out. In summer depending on the city you live in you can have blackouts because everyone turns on their air conditioner. That's your cue to get out and do sociable things. EDIT: Alexanderpas is right. Games are ridiculously overpriced here. I'm considering buying from the UK nowadays - even with shipping it's cheaper EG. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
