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

You should check out the FAQ here: http://www.ntsc-uk.com/tech.php?tech=ImportHardwareFAQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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.

I'll probably get a step down converter in the near future as im hoping to get some japanese and american consoles
