My backwards compatible PS3 is starting to develop some issues that I use for PAL PS/PS2 games. I have a pretty good size collection of PAL exclusives, so I wondered if this was possible since it would be much cheaper?
I can get around PAL with ease I believe since I plan to add a nice external scaler one of these days like a XRGB Mini (PS3 upscales it to HD and negated PAL issues for me with my current setup). But I would rather not mess with a step-up converter if I didn't have to (Where as the PS3 was compatible with 110 volts).
Can I just swap power supplies, or are the power requirements for the console itself also significantly different between both regions? Note that I'm of course talking about the earlier slims, not the later revisions that internalized the power supply.
