The original ones like mine have the same 3 ping socket as PCs do. My friends
newer 360 PSU however is missing the earth pin. The cable that comes with it
also lacks the earth pin, so somewhere they redesigned it to not need a
separate earth. I'm not sure what they might have done to do that, seeing as
the 360 is not quite fully insulated, you could probably touch the metal
shield near the USB ports.
The only thing it does prove is, they did change the design of the PSU at some
point.
