No, no! UK voltage is 240, Japanese systems use 110! You will fry your system unless you use a step-down transformer.Jatz wrote:Hey there,

You should check out the FAQ here: http://www.ntsc-uk.com/tech.php?tech=ImportHardwareFAQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Re: NTSC-J PS2 power
Is it a slim or a phat one? If it's a slim it should be ok to use your PAL power lead as it drops the voltage before entering the PS2.

Oh, didn't think of that. If it is the version that uses a transformer (power brick), you'll be fine as the DC voltages used by the consoles is the same.DK wrote:Is it a slim or a phat one? If it's a slim it should be ok to use your PAL power lead as it drops the voltage before entering the PS2.
