I think what they both want to say is that UK buyers can power up the console out of the box thanks to the 110/240 volt setting and the UK plug (you won't be needing a stepdown converter, no travel plug either).
The console still is region protected when it comes to the games though.

That damn Shinsengumi game better be worth it if it's just the power cable, u can always get an adapter plug for that in most electronics stores. mine's a US one (which makes it 110v), since majority of the outlets here are 240v, all i did was buy a 240v adapter plug and no more probs! |

Well, the version I see at Lik-Sang also shows the pic of an adapter. If they claim it's multivolt, then you don't have to worry about damage to your console no matter the voltage on your net. You'll only be needing the US travel plug then, in order to solve the UK plug problem. You can always ask the people at Lik-Sang or Play-Asia just to make sure.  |

For anyone else who wants to know I found this. It looks like I will save 35 by buying asia version from play-asia and then the 5 buck adapter WHAT ABOUT YOUR COMPUTER, camcorder, CD/DVD player, etc? Fortunately, many portable computers today come with power supplies that can be used in almost any part of the world. Check the manufacturer's label to see what type of input it can handle. This applies to many digital cameras, VCRs, video games and other electronic devices as well. Those designed for use just about anywhere have a section on the label that looks something like this: INPUT: AC 100V- 240V~ 1.0A 50 / 60 Hz This shows that the device was designed to be used over a wide range of voltage levels and at different electrical frequencies. In this particular example, the device can accept “nominal” voltage anywhere from 100 volts to 240 volts and can operate on either a 50 Hz or 60 Hz system. It is designed for alternating current (AC). (Like most appliances, it should not be used on a direct current, or DC system -- DC electrical systems are not common, but some may still exist.) If your device has a label with these parameters, it can be used pretty much anywhere. In that case, all you need is a plug adaptor. If you must take other types of electrical appliances with you abroad, your best bet is to buy travel-size dual-voltage appliances that can run on both 110 and 220-volt currents. Make sure the switch is on the proper voltage for the country you are in before using the appliance. You will also need to carry adapter plugs with you to fit the outlets in the countries you're visiting. |
