Usa Ps3 Slim. Work In Thailand?

[ozymandious]

I've searched around the interwwebs and I've found various sources that state even thought the back of the PS3 is labeled 110v it's internal power supply is 110-240. All posts stating this (showing the unit disassembled with the voltage indication clearly viable and videos of it being plugged in) have been of the original "fat" model.

Specifically will a US PS3 Slim work on the voltage here?

Are there any Region issues that I should be aware of RE: Games, DVD and Blue Ray?

Thanks!

PS3 Games are region free, will only run into region issues for DVD. BR should not be a problem as USA and Asia are same Region code for BR (Region A). according to the above thread.

Any info on Voltage??

At any electronics shop in Thailand you can buy a 110 to 220 converter for less than $10 so no need to worry if it is only 110 vac. All the stuff I brought from USA that was 110VAC is still working on converters here years later.

The PS3 Slm will work fine in Thailand and all games are multi-region. Stick an adaptor onto the the plug and you're good to go!

A lot of purchased DVDs in Thailand are multi-region too but most of them are Region 3 (so you won't be able to play these ones). :jap:

Thanks MarvinBerry, I know most of the DVD's off the corner are Region Free to begin with. Almost all of my Legit DVD purchases are USA Region 1. So I think i'm good to go.

Not too worrid about the region coding on the disks since I have a handy little Soken dvd player that plays all regions and just about every format video file.

When you say stick an adapter on the the plug you're talking about pins and prongs and the fit, not a voltage converter correct?

I bought a 120 GB slim in April 2010 from the US. It has a universal power supply even though the casing says 110V. So you don't need the voltage converter to use it in Thailand.

Same here. The case says 110V but that's not what is inside.
