i have a few small questions about import ps3's can they be run on our electricity - do you need a conversion - and is ps3 multi region ?

Cheers INFECTION
 
PSU is dual standard so no need for a step down transformer.

Games are apparently region free, however bluray movies can be region locked, so if you're going to import a PS3, be prepared, you might have to import movies aswell.

I've no idea if the online services have any concept of regions.

Infection - were you ever in a Kingpin Clan where everyone was named after a disease or ailment eg: Typhoid, Cholera, Virii etc ?
Very long time ago mind probably 10 years ago or more.
 
In order to use the online service you have to register an address from the US/Japan any address will do but to purchase stuff you need a Visa/mastercard card and some people have had more success with certain bank cards and none with others.

Games are region free for now but I am a little cautious about that Just because the launch titles are region free it's not to say that the rest will be I think we will not know how it pans out until the console is launched worldwide.

All you need to power the machine is a 3amp fused kettle lead (anything more than that and you are taking a risk by a few accounts I have read)

It is estimated that the PS3 would be £400 +
 
One site I've seen has the Sony Playstation 3 Console With 60GB HDD & 3 Games (Formula One 06/Warhawk/Singstar) advertised at £549.99, although it's not out until 07/03/2007 so that price could change by then.

That's 3 games, at minimum £40 each, that's £120.
 
Yeah, the games are advertised at £49.99 each, so if you look at it that way it's £150 for the three games, so your estimation is about right.
