Im in china, and looking to buy a ps3, if i get the kong kong version it will come with the right power adaptor for use in the uk,
the games are region free, but will it play uk moives, also will it be backward capable, and able to play my ps2 games??

it will be all that !! plus if you buy a jap game you can change the jap text into english plus there is a larger hard drive out now so you can copy your games on to it

PS2 games aren't region free though so it won't play your UK PS2 games.

yh im in china, but will be buyin a machine from hong hong wit a 3 pin plug

wats the bigger HDD available??

bigknd

Don't worry about the power source just need a kettle lead with a 5a fuse in the plug. I have both USA and Hong Kong versions and they both play all ps3 games from Japan and USA neither play PS2 games or DVD's that are pal, but both play any Blue Ray disc no matter what region code is on the back of the box. Just be aware though if your importing one you will probably get stung by customs ranging from £60 - £138
Oh and the hard disc is upgradable as it's the same as any 2.5" hard drives that are available for laptops etc.

so wud ya recomend me getting one, whilst im out here in china. they are offering a hong kong version with an xtra controller, and a game for around 4800rmb, which is about £342, this is without much bartering at the price.
also the only ones i ave been gettin prices on are the 60gb ones, is it worth enquiring about the 20gb ones, then gettin prices of another hdd??

im only here till friday, so need to make my decision quick!!!

rgds

cong

no get the 60gb ones becuase they have a higher spec and built in wifi teh 20gbs dont have the wifi

Edcase

FYI they won't be releasing the lower spec 20Gb version here in the UK, will be 60Gb only around £425

DaveL001

so the price im being quoted is not bad then. thats with an xtra controller, orignal sony, and a game of my choice.
any recomendations as to wat game i shud get??

Iain Young

Not sure it's a mega saving, but it is likely to be cheaper. The UK price is rumoured to be about £425, so you're saving about £80 from the RRP. But, you could get stung big time on import duty, plus you won't get a UK warranty...

DaveL001

only rumoured?? plus will prob ave to wait ages fto get hold of one
i bought a 4 psps from china over a year ago now, and have not had any probs wit them.
im flyin to paris first, then paris to uk, so hopefully avoiding customs
