Japanese Playstation


Recommended Posts

I'm thinking to get a japanese playstion to play some import games. I know there are other ways to do this but I'm set on going this route. Anyway, I know that typically hardware from othte countries use different voltages. If I do get a Japanese playstation will I have to worry about this, and how can I remedy this?? Thanks!

Yep, I reside in the good ole U. S. of A. Hmmm...I figured that was the case. I'll try stopping by my hardware store to see if they sell any. Thanks for the help.

wtf?!...no, it's the same thing

 

if it's NTSC it obviously uses as much as in the u.s

 

u.s = NTSC/UC

 

Japan = NTSC/J

 

Europ = PAL (lower voltage than both u.s and japan)

 

sooo...yeah, it's the same shiit

Are you absolutely sure? Just because they're both NTSC doesn't necessarily mean that the voltage output is the same.

 

If you are, then it's good thing that you corrected me. :lol:

Ok, the voltage requirement for more Japanese items is the exact same as the N.A. Why? Because my N64 is Japanese and it works perfectly.

Ah so much confusion.

 

It's like this:

 

USA 110/120 volts

Japan 85/100 volts

Europe 210/230 volts

 

As you can see the difference between japan and USA is not that big, you can use your playstation without any converters.
