Is there a difference between -5v and +5v?

He was saying it takes 5v, and draws 1A. Don't even think about the amps, as long as the supply can provide enough amps, its fine. It just happens that the -5v line on your PSU can supply 1A, so its messing with you. Hook it to the +5v.
Thats assuming his initial post was right, I can't confirm that the 360's power supply outputs 5v and not -5v.
