Should I get a US editon PS3 over eBay?

May be...

So I was looking around eBay and I noticed that there was a PS3 for sale that had a power supply of 110v -220V. Is it advisable to get this US version of the PS3 or should I just buy one from Funan centre. I also just got word of the new 80GB PS3 talked about in E3 2008 from a friend that will be available in September, could someone confirm that it will also be available in Singapore?

As far as the power supply I wouldn't know what you use in singapore so I can't answer that part. But I would still buy a PS3 from your area even if it would work, this is because PS2 games, PS1 games, DVDs and some Blu ray discs are region locked. PS3 games are not region locked however and if that's all you plan on using your PS3 and the power supply will work in your area then go for it.



Also I would recommend not buying a PS3 from ebay as it will be hard to get sony to honor a warranty in most cases if it breaks. Also there's a lot of scam artists on ebay.

Only buy it if you are American or you have the same power plugs as the Americans. Yes there will be a 80GB PS3 but don't know when it will be released. It should come out in Japan 1st then America Then the rest of the world. Rarely does something come out that gets released at the very same time in all countries. 2 games have been released around the world at the same time they are Halo 3 which sucked and Grand Theft Auto IV which kicked ar*e.

No I would just buy one in your area. That way it will be guarenteed to work in your area. You could have an issue with the power frequency and/or games and not be able to play it. Also the new 80GB that is coming out is basically just a 40GB that has double the storage space. It is reported that it is for North America only.

I would recommend you get one in your area, because if you want to play dvds on it, some dvds are region coded so you wont be able to play certain dvds from your area on your US ps3. And there will be a new 80gb ps3 but it will be the same as the 40gb ps3, just with more hard drive space.

THE ONE COMING OUT IN SEPTEMBER HAS JUST AN HD UPGRADE BUT THE REST ARE THE SAME AS 40GB. BETTER TO GET WHERE YOU ARE SO THAT IT'S EASIER TO SETTLE WHENEVER YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT. THE CURRENT 80GB IS B/C WITH PS2. BUT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE PS2 IT WOULDNT MATTER TO YOU IF YOU JUST GET 40GB.

yes its cheaper
