Hey all,

I bought a PS3 while overseas recently since it was a lot cheaper than here but it was a Japanese one. I knew the voltage was different and would need a step down transformer but I have heard that I might not need to get one. I've looked around on the net and it sounds like the older versions were 110-240V capable but with the 40GB ones it's a bit unclear whether or not it is.

I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could confirm whether I could save myself a bit of money and not need to get a big, chunky transformer or if I should just be safe and buy one (they're on trademe for around $100 for 500W and 800W).

Cheers.
