    Slimline US PS2 question

    Ok, this might take a bit of explaining but here we go..

    Years ago i bought a normal PS2 fatboy 1st or 2nd generation machine. So far its all worked very well and no problems. I have just come back from the USA where i went on a spending splurge and bought myself a DS lite and slimline PS2. Now I open up the slimline PS2 and i find the power supply has been split into a seperate AC adaptor. So basically I have a few questions:

    1. Can I plug my UK power cable into this US adaptor and run my US PS2 that way without blowing either the AC unit or/and the PS2 up? (on the front of the adaptor it states that it can handle an input from 100-240 volts, if I remember rightly the UK voltage limit is 240?)
    2. If the answer to the above is no can I use a step down transformer to change the voltage for the power supply?
    3. A list of all the exclusive US PS2 games that are actually worth getting
    4. A list of good online retailers to get them from.

    I realise this may be a really stupid question but this is my first foray into importing and I want to make sure I dont destroy the first thing I bought!

    1+2)The PSU is multivoltage, no stepdown required. You just need a figure 8 UK power lead.

    3)I can't help you regarding US stuff, I'm more of a JPN man when it comes to the PS2. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to help you though

    4)Many people here order from Video Games Plus in Canada frequently and they come very highly recommended. The site is www.vgp.ca
