Check out your "I am back thread" thread. I hope you can play your new US games soon.

Thanks alot for the reply mate.I tryed my other converter and it seems to be working fine(touch wood),but it says 220v to 100v on it,so i am going to go to an import shop tomorrow and try and see what they say,because they had a japanese PS2 in there shop,so i will see what converter they use.
Agian thanks alot for all the help.

Also what shop do you buy your american ps2 games from?is it on the net that you buy your games,or go to a shop in your town?

Both.The shop in my town closed a few weeks ago and so I get most of the games and DVDs on the net.

See, if you are American (like me) you don\'t have to go through all that BS... I got a Jap DC without a converter, and just about everything else. Like a Canon Word Tank.

You should check out http://www.dvdboxoffice.com
They have free worldwide shipping but it could take 5-10 business days to ship the items.I don`t have to pay import taxes when I order there.I don`t know why ,but hey it`s cool!
If you can`t wait for a game check out http://www.outpost.com
In 2-3 days you`ll get it. But you`ll have to pay the shipping.The delivery service will pay the taxes(if there are any in the UK) in advance and you wil get the bill later from them.
I never had problems so far.
