PS3 Slim and voltages.

Andy!!

Bought an American 320GB PS3 slim here in South Korea.

America uses 120V. South Korea uses 220V. Now, I had a quick google before posting, but it's left me even more unsure of whether or not the unit will explode if I plug it in.

What do people think? If I buy a Sony shaped power cable with a Korean end is the thing like to explode? :pac:

Cheers for that that's a great list! I'll check my exact console spec when I get home and report back

Andy!!

Shhhiiiiiiite. It's a CECH 300-1B. That list says the max for that is 200, but we have 220V here. Gonna need a converter box amn't I.

You should be ok. Click the link again and click on "PS3 power supply". This gives a chart on all the power supplys used on the various PS3 models and your model is the last one on the chart and it says 100V - 240V under "power input"

You're fine, you're looking at the wrong part of the site.

You're looking at Watts, you're PS3 will use 200 Watts max while it uses 100V-240V.

Oh ok cool cheers Will try and find a Korean Sony lead tomorrow so Will report back then.

It's not a Sony lead, it's a common standard one. It's a C7/8, just bring the one you have with you to a normal electrical shop as you unlikely to get one in a gaming shop.

You could always just change the plug on the one you have or get a converter.
