    New Design PS2

    Hi Guys

    Just wondering if anyone can help with my problem. I have just bought a new PS2 and am having trouble with the power supply. I currently use a 150 watt step down to use on my X-Box. Is it likely that this is sending to much power to the PS2?

    wattage is just a maximum output value, the ps2 will draw what it needs which will be far less than that.

      ditto, a 100w transformer is more than enough-so you'll be o.k

          apparently the new PS2 only drains 45w, suggest you get a cheap 100w one from malin or similar.

            I thought the new design PS2 didn't need a stepdown, as its transformer is multi-voltage?

              Get a u.k PS2 Power cable-they're cheap on e-bay. The new Slimlne ps2s have an external power source which takes all types of power cables.

                good point, it's a normal 2 pin connector used for many home stereo's (and the Xbox) can't be more than couple quid from maplin or Woolworths etc.
