my bday is 3 weeks away soo,

as i said in this thread : http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=98883
i said that i maybe getting a 80GB PS3,
which isnt out in europe....

so i need an american site that is relaible and ships worldwide

one of the main reasons for getting an american version is that
£1 = $2 approx so i get great bargins

i also need:

a tranformer that works with the PS3
(here the electricity is 240v per cycle while the americans get 140 or something)

dont say that it wont play BD movies because i dont care, it isnt a big loss

these would come as reccomendations for my dad

cheers guys

ebay?
Also I dont know if this is the case still, but with the PS2, you could only buy PAL games in the UK, but the US PS2 played NTSC. Meaning you would need to buy games from the US as well.

This is the general thing you want to go from 240 VAC to 110 VAC.

Look for similar in UK sites. And check Amazon for US PS3s.

henno13: A generally unremarkable member; +230|6824|Belfast

ok screw the 80GB one
searches are comming up with nothing
in other news

i found a 60gig for £350 of Play
and 2 free games

thats odd
Play.com doesnt show the price on the page
and i doesnt tell me what games i can choose

i dont have an account
is that the problem?

fail
they apparently stopped selling them

just get a ordinary 40gb and install a 250 sata 2 in it much more efficient and very easy to do.

and then install linux and you have your own computer than can play awesome games

EDIT: nevermind, just read you dont have an HDTV, while it does still work the resolution is shit and you cant change it (i think)

Right....lets get a few things staright:

1) PS3 games are region free, they play on all PS3's.

2) Even though it looks like Blu-Ray films are region locked, the majority aren't. Look here .

3) If you buy from a big store like amazon in the US (even though I think its been made 'illegal' by Sony to import PS3's) they'll tell customs exactly whats in the box and you'll get screwed on VAT and probably import duties (if thats not the same thing as VAT).

So.......I'd just get the GTA IV bundle when it hits in a couple of weeks.
