PLEASE HELP.

I just returned from the USA where I bought a PLAYSTATION 3 (160GB) LIMITED EDITION. UNCHARTERED-DRAKE'S FORTUNE BUNDLE.

I want to play my new PS3 here in IRELAND but obviously Im terrified I will destroy it by plugging it into the mains here.

Ive heard lots of different things about voltage converters and kettels leads etc....can somebody please clearify what I need to do or go buy so that I can get it working.

On the bottom of the console there is a sticker that says...
120V ~ 3A 60Hz

Also...I was just wondering has anybody out there got the same Playstation I have and working back home in Ireland or the UK???

Thanking you all in advance....

All current PS3 power supplies are Universal 100V-240V/50-60 Hz and will work worldwide, external power markings only relate to the intended market area.
This has been asked before on the forums and confirmed to be true. The PS3 is multi voltage.

So basically...I can plug my USA PS3 power cord directly into a standard America/UK & Ireland adapter and it will work.
Is that correct!?!
The adapter says "Tested and approved for use with electrical products rated to 13 amps"
Sorry! but I just want to be sure...thanks for your reply.
