Hi,
I just bought a japanese 20gb console off Ebay and have a few questions:

What type of converter/step down transformer do I need? Could anyone recommend one?

Can I play DivX movies through an external hard drive using the PS3? There seems to be a lot of talk about external hard drives but no real answers on this forum.

Thanks in advance.

You will need something to convert 110V to 220V. There are rumors that the ps3 power supply is 100v - 240v though, but I don't know if you want to risk the system getting damaged.

For DivX, I am not sure about the external, but the ps3 does have support for it. I think they have to be .mp4 though. I never tried it out. I read that it can play video files through memory cards/sticks.
