Does an Asian PS2 play Jpn games?

[Pavey]

Forgive me if this is a stupid question but do the 220v Asian PS2's that are available from liksang play Japanese games,or are there asian versions?
Or is the only difference the power supply.
Want to get one to play all the stuff im missing out on by only having a PAL console.
Also,does anyone have any recommendation on where to get a Jpn PS2,any trouble with shipping/customs etc...
Thanks people.


Just read that they play Japanese games so ignore the first question.

You can buy a JPN PS2 from me, check the trading forum

to answer your questions:

-It'll play all NTSC-J stuff i.e. Asian/Korean/Japanese games. The difference is the power supply.
-I got my JPN PS2 from Play-asia and got hit with a ?40 to ?50 customs bill. You will get hit as most companies won't mark stuff down when it's being sent by courier

I got my Asian White PS2 (the GT4 one) from Lik-sang via DHL and didn't get any tax at all so you may want to try them.
