Morning Discussion
So everyone have a good weekend? We just got the official confirmation for Rock Band 2, details are a bit sparse for now but sounds like it should be good times. Also forthcoming is Gears of War 2, with an official multiplayer trailer narrated by the always refined Cliff Bleszinski. And kids, don't hack Valve.

Well you could have a weak/intermittent connection.
My point was even if it did require a grounded plug, it's a safety thing and not a functional thing. Nothing "needs" a ground connection to work. Some appliances (notably ones with metal housings) just become less safe without one.
The neutral prong in an AC plug is essentially the circuit ground, and the ground prong is the chassis ground. The neutral and ground wires are connected together at the breaker panel. It's just the neutral wire is meant to carry current and the ground wire is not. (during normal operation anyway)

Awesome. You know, it would be fun to write an article to see how much difference these things make, if any. I'm guessing the difference is nonexistent to imperceptible. Electronics don't run directly on AC power, any power they use has already been filtered and regulated and buffered and all that shit.
