    Okay.. got a few threads about going to america..

    I heard PS3 works in Uk, just has problems with movies.. im fine with that..

    I know of best buy.. but what other electronics sell PS3's & packages?

    If any of you know some cheap ones please tell..

    I want Resistance & motorstorm..

    If possible extra controler (btw would an english controller work on american ps3?)

    HDMI plug (ditto)

    yeah just what should i watch out for?

    Yeah, there was a rumor going around that they would be region locked, but I'm pretty sure they arn't.

    The PlayStation 3 is Region Free. This means, if you buy a PS3 you can buy games from different countries and play them on your PS3 no matter what PS3 you have.

    For example, you buy your PS3 in...United Kingdom. But you want to buy a game thats a Japanese Exclusive, so you buy the game and you can play it on your PS3. It's not like the PS2 where you needed the Swap Magic.

    I'm not quite sure if this is what you're asking though.
