Hey all,

Thanks in advance for any advice.

IM off to the USA this week for work, and was thinking about picking up a ps3 whilst im there. they arent released in Australia for another 4 week. They are also about $180 US cheaper in the States. Im just wondering if there are any issues people can alert me to about buying one from overseas (besides the power cable differnce - but thats easy enough to not worry about).

EG: are there any zoning issues? will games bought in the Australia market work on the US console? What about purchasing one from Hong Kong? as they are cheaper there and some of my friends live there and could buy one for me.

any and all suggestions and advice welcome.

thanks.
