Want to buy a ps2 in Japan

[adyb]

Hi All

I am going to Japan next week and I wanted to get my son a PS2.

Will a jap ps2 be:-

compatible with uk games?
will the voltage be a problem?
can it be chipped?
will dvd's play ok?

basically I have loads of questions about it.

is it cheaper to buy one over there as I can't find a web site that will show me.

any info would be very much appreciated

thanks in advance

I HIGLY doubt a Japenese PS2 will be able to play import games without a mod chip. I suggest you get a UK PS2 and mod it. THen you can play ALL imports.

Here is a SILVER!!! ps2 from amazon.co.uk

Wait for new version to come out, a slimmer version of the ps2 is coming out on November 1st i think... The cost will be starting at $150US.... http://www.us.playstation.com/pressreleases.aspx?id=227

yeah...the look is amazing...and the size is very very small...i might just sell my ps2 and add in money to get that...but the psx is coming out next year, so im still deciding..
