Buying a PS3 from Thailand to use in Australia. Will I be able to use it here?

My dad is going to get me a PS3 40GB from thailand. What I need to know is if the power will work here. Its 240V here.

Do I need to buy it a power converter or what?

i bought my ps3 in bangkok (MBK rocks!), never had any trouble!hd18

Lol same here. Top floor, right below the movie theatre. MBK ftw.

Yes it will work. I bought mine in Thailand. It will most likely be Japanese, but see if you can't get a US one. Ask them, read the packaging, find out. Get a US if you can but Japanese is fine too. They are all uni. power so they will work anywhere, and the Japanese, American and Euro regions share games and Blu-rays so you will have no problems there. excelR83

Japanese systems have the same language settings as every other system so it doesn't matter. You are incorrect about the Blu-Ray regions though, there are 3 regions. Most BDs have been region free so far but not all. Japan and the US are region "A", Australia and Europe are region "B".

Thanks to all of the people that gave me really useful information. One other thing is that will I be able to change the language on the ps3 from thai to english? Also is it true that the buttons on the controller are different?

On more thing. My dad might get one from MBK. Where abouts is the store located and whast it called, and are they a safe and reliable shop?
