Ps3

I bought a few Japanese PS3s to resell, but have been told I need to buy a transformer (they're about £70+ on eBay), but someone else told me PS3s already include a transformer and all I need to buy is a cheap adapter..

Please can someone here with knowledge tell me which it is?

Thankyou.

    You can just use a standard kettle lead with a UK plug and a 3 amp fuse; works fine.

    So you spent over £1,000 not knowing if they would work in the UK and are now getting stroppy with people because they won't answer your question? Most people in the UK will not have access to a PS3 to be able to answer your question and the best they can do is point to some other sites for information.
    Perhaps you should have done more research before spending your money?
