If I buy a Japan-version PS3, will I need to use a transformer in order to use the game console in the US?
I am thinking about buying a ceramic white PS3, but it is available only in Japan. I wonder if the adaptor on PS3 is 100-240V, i.e. if it can be used anywhere in the world without using a transformer (just like laptops). Answers from US owners of Japan-version PS3 or knowledgeable persons are preferred, but all answers will be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Answer 1 :
all ps3s are region-lock free.....
Answer 2 :
I was thinking of getting the Japan version because my cousin has it and says it is great. The only thing that is locked is the ability to play american DVD's on it. You can play any Blu-ray which is basically all you need unless you want to watch american dvd'S
Answer 3 :
You will need to get a North American PS3 power cord. Or you can get a travel adapter and use that, though the North American PS3 cord is probably safer to use because it was designed for the PlayStation 3 and the North American regional power outlets.
Answer 4 :
no
Answer 5 :
no all games will work on a japanese ps3 but i dont think u can play us movies though
Answer 6 :
no. U don't have to.
Answer 7 :
to answer your question properly, unlike the rest of the responses you will need an adapter to plug into the wall. for the plug ends are diffrent than those we use here in the good old us.
Answer 8 :
If you buy a Japanese PS3, you will need to use a Japanese to US travel adaptor to power the console. If you also get it, you will have to buy Japanese DVD's, PS1 and PS2 games. You will be able to play all PS3 games from all over the world and since Blu-Ray movies from Japan share the same region as the US, Blu-Ray movies would also work
