Asian PS2 power supply

[Shibusawa jr.]

Got my Asian ps2 from play Asia today, delighted naturally but one thing was unexpected: the power lead. It came out of the box with a three pin thingy that could be unscrewed which left me with what looks to be a normal plug like we use here on European mainland (Netherlands). Does the Asian model use the same voltage as we do (can't check the box atm) or am I f*cked and need to get yet another stepdown converter (both plugs seem to be incompatible with the one I use for the U.S. ps2) ?

And while I'm at it, is there any difference between the Korean or Japanese games on sale at PA ?

Thanks.

Asian decks usually have 220-240V rated internal psu's. (Look on the consoles casing)
You should be able to plug this straight into the mains in this case.

Cheers Yashiro. Never seen this outer casing with fuse thingy before. Looks a bit tacky and surprisingly it's made in Britain which seemes odd for an Asian electrical appliance.
