    The PS3 has an auto-sensing power supply that detects what voltage is being used, no voltage converters necessary. Just use a travel adapter when you go to a country that needs 3 pin plugs.

    buy a transformer. Since it is american the input will be like 110 and tthe output depends on the country you are in.

    get a diode (or an inverter, cant remember which). Other countries run with different voltage than the us, and it will burn up your motor. You can probly buy one anywhere. it inverts the voltage so that you can use american electronics overseas.
