you might not be able to use the ps2 you get in america.....different TV types, US ones are NTSC. I dont know what type you use in Brittian.  My family tree goes back to Cornwall england on my dads side.

I have yet to see a PS2 on the shelf in Florida.  Except for of course the one I bought.  

I still don\'t understand why you would want one from US when you already have one.  I guess getting to see a game a month early is worth 400 bucks.  I dunno.  Then there is the whole movie region code thing too, but heck, you can get a DVD-Rom for your computer that will playback region free.

Um, no..  It\'s pronounced Vega, but it is Wega.
