Awright, here's the deal kiddies. I'm gonna be importing myself a Japanese slim PS3. The store says I need to buy a stepdown converter since I live in the UK but I've read that the PS3 has a universal power supply and it's not necessary to buy one. All I'd need is an adaptor so I can actually plug it into the wall (That or a new power cable). Now, the reason I'm asking is due to conflicting reports on this - some say you don't need a converter, other say you do. To be honest I don't want to buy a converter if I don't need to (not to mention they heat up pretty quickly), but I don't want my expensive purchase blowing up on me. So, has anyone had experiences importing a PS? Or does anyone actual know if it's safe not to use a converter? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers me dears!
From what I have read, at least the US Slim has a universal power supply. The fat one does not. I would say its safe to assume that the JP slim should have a universal power supply as well.
