Irish/Uk PS3 Work in Canada??

mc3cann · 2010-12-21 16:18:21

Hi, I have a PS3 which I bought here in Ireland. I am moving over to Canada in early Jan and planning on bringing my PS3 along. Will it work over there? I have heard mixed reports due to the different voltages etc over there? Anyone have gone through this or know of people who have?? Thanks

This thread is here to provide links and information on frequently-discussed topics. Feel free to contribute. Please keep chatter to a minimum, and only post useful information!

1. Buying a PS3 Abroad

European (inc. Irish) PS3s will play:

All Playstation 3 games (inc. US/Japanese/Asian games)
PAL Playstation 2 games (IF your system is backwards compatible)
PAL Playstation 1 games
Region B (Europe/Africa) and multi-region Blu Ray movies
Region 2 (PAL), 4 and 0 DVDs

Japanese PS3s will play:

All Playstation 3 games
Japanese Playstation 2 games (IF your system is backwards compatible)
Japanese Playstation 1 games
Region A (Japan/US) and multi-region Blu Ray movies
Region 2 (NTSC) and region 0 DVDs (PAL DVDs may not play back)

American PS3s will play:

All Playstation 3 games
American Playstation 2 games (IF your system is backwards compatible)
American Playstation 1 games
Region A (Japan/US) and multi-region Blu Ray movies
Region 1 (NTSC) and region 0 DVDs (PAL DVDs may not play back)

With all models, all menus can be put into English. You may sign up for your local Playstation Network store, regardless of location. There are some differences in firmware, and some features may not be available on certain machines. You may be liable for import duty and VAT if your machine is imported from outside the EU. Although overseas Playstations may specify 100-120V, they should work with Irish voltage without a transformer, though this may change. Use at your own risk.

Topics to be covered:

NAT/Firewall Problems
Adding funds to Playstation Network accounts
Streaming from media centers
Connecting PS3 to TV/Speakers

Currently living in USA with my Irish PS3 and just bought a new cable in radioshack and working fine. It's originally a 40GB fat PS3.
