Hey,

I'm currently in the US and I'm contemplating buying a US PS3 slim, is there anything that I should know about different power inputs/outputs between countries when I bring it back to Malaysia. Also, I spend a lot of time in Australia, so would there be any problems there as well?

Thanks guys!

thanks bro

hey guys, for ps3 slims are there only 2 models? as in 120gb and 250gb? or are there more subdivisions within that? such as cechxxxx?
for instance, ps3 phat 40gb had a lot of different variations within it.

thanks

thanks man

Hey guys so I'm in the states now and I decided to buy an 80gb model ps3 slim. I was pretty sure that a ps3 bought here would work back home in msia, but just to be safe, I sent a message to Sony. I was surprised to hear their reply that not only does ps3 not accept a universal power supply, but they said it also does not play non region one games. Is this all true? Or BS?

Hello Warren,

You will only be able to play DVD's coded "region 1" or "region ALL" coded in the NTSC format on the North American PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Blu-ray Discs™ (BD) that are marked with the "region A" will be supported.

*When playing PLAYSTATION®3 format software, a display/monitor that supports video playback at 60Hz is required. (Please contact the manufacturer of your display for video playback support.)

In addition, the North American PLAYSTATION 3 system only supports a power supply of 120V AC, 60 Hz.

Lastly, due to different television and voltage standards, and a variety of licensing issues, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) has implemented a territorial-based distribution system for its hardware, peripherals, and software. This limits the use of any particular software to play on the console designated for that distribution territory (e.g. North American games will not play in the systems designed for other regions, such as, Japan, Europe, etc.). You may also experience problems if you attempt to use memory sticks, controllers, etc. from a different region (outside of North America) on your North American console.

In addition, we would not recommend traveling with your North American PLAYSTATION 3 system outside of North America. Due to a difference in international television and voltage standards, North American PLAYSTATION 3 systems may not be compatible for use outside of North America.

We do not have any information on adapters or converters made to override territorial restrictions. The various PlayStation® consoles and format software titles are only designed to run in their respective regions and countries. We apologize for any inconvenience.

thanks ben
but are u sure the statement "only supports 120V 60Hz" does not apply? I thought in msia we're 240V. Sorry to ask somemore, just that I don't want my ps3 to explode when I plug it in :s

thanks.
