Question
I have just moved to the US from the UK, but left my PS2 behind because I didn't think it would work over in the US. Is there any way I can get it to work?
Firstly - I know that the power supply is different, but have a convertor. Secondly, yes, I know that the games won't work, but have a huge number of UK games anyway.
I basically want to know just if it's possible to hook it up to US TV and play. Any ideas?
Dear Mark,
Yes, it should work, but only for UK games. You should be able to hook up to the TV and play. I personally would just get a US PS2 slim and a swap magic disc.You need the Slim version for its flip top. This way you can play US and UK games on the same PS2. For more about the magic swap disc please visit the website below:

Hope you had a Happy New Year!
