    It depends on the voltage the electric plug is set for. If you don't have a standard plug that matches the voltage at your new location you will short it out. Electronic stores sell adaptors if you do not have the correct plug. As far as the language cross over goes you just have to reprogram the console in it's options menu to adjust the American games to whatever language you'd like. Other than that you shouldn't have a problem.

    yes u can all u need is to get a converter for the power. and make sure u get a new tv that plays all region pictures. ie pal, ntsc and secam. i think u might be better off selling them and buying them out there though and getting the new consoles chiped so they play your uk games.

    You have to check for two things :

    1- adaptor compatibility --- bringing a tranformer will help

    2- Since ur consoles are pal so u need to check whether there are free loader cds -- enable u to play ntsc on pal or vice versa

    depends on the tv u use em on as it will have to have a euro scart connection on the back cos uk machines output pal signals and us tv is ntsc also any games u buy in the usa will not play on your english machines unless they re chipped
