Will a PS3 Slim from Hong Kong work in the US in terms of electricity?
i'm planning to buy a ps3 from hong kong, but i need to know if the plug that goes into the outlet will work here in the US, because of the different voltage in countries. i remember one time i brought my gamecube from here to the philippines and when i plugged it in, the power cord broke. so yeah, will a ps3 slim's power cord from hong kong work in the US? if not, can i simply buy a different power cord that could work here? thanks. I also read that the power cord is universal. does this mean it can plug into any kind of outlet no matter the voltage?

You will need an adapter possibly because my mom bought a laptop there to bring over in Canada and it needed an adapter.

No. Their wiring and all is completely different, just like most places in the world all vary on that.

depending if you have the outlet adapter to work overseas,but i would just use batteries instead man...

The general consensus is that all PS3s have a built-in voltage converter so in that regard all you should need is a PS3 power cable for the Hong Kong outlets. However, it never hurts to buy a power converter to be safe. Its a $400+ machine after all. EDIT: Have a look at this. http://www.eurogamer.net/forum_thread_posts.php?thread_id=68988 It should work the way it is. In addition to the link, I have only seen success stories and not stories of failure regarding the built-in power converter issue. You'll only need a different power cable or plug adapter if the current PS3 power cord doesn't fit into the Hong Kong outlet. You don't need a power converter of any sort.

Why won't my Nintendo DS AC adapter work in Hong Kong
Why won't my Nintendo DS AC adapter work in Hong Kong?
I've been in Hong Kong for a few days now, and still can't manage to get my Nintendo DS charger to work on these wall outlets, in spite of having an adapter for it. While my other electronics seem to work when plugged into the wall adapter (computer, shaver etc.), the charger for the DS doesn't seem to work. Can someone tell me why, or how to fix this? Also, if it matters, the Nintendo DS and charger are originally from Canada.

if you are going stay in hong kong longer,you can go to wan chai computer center and get an adopter or ask from hotel reception.but i don't know why its not working.probably some thing wrong with nds plug .
2 :
Is your charger a 110 v or 220? If it's not 220 and you didn't use your converter (not just an adapter), it could be you've fried the electrical system. Most computers have built in converters (I don't know about shavers), but you have to check each electrical appliance to see if they have the same converters built in. Good luck! (If it's been "fried" you'll need to get something replaced. It's been a while since this has happened to me, but it can be repaired. You'd need to take it to a gaming place or someone that can tell you what the problem is.)
3 :
Is your adapter 110 or 220VAC? Switching power adapters are often "wide input" and can handle 90-240VAC. Just check what's written on it. Also worth to mention that adapters here quite lousy and often the contact is really bad, or you have no contact at all. Move your charger around in the adapter and check if it gets power in any particular position. Or bring your charger to a shop and let them find any suitable adapter for you. They are about HK$10 per pcs.

it doesnt work because in the worls the power outlets use less energy. and in hong kong the outlets have more energy so the nitendo ds wa made for lower energy
