I know that Japan runs on a slightly different voltage than the US, but is it enough to where I'd need a converter to run my J-PS2 on a 110v socket safely?

Edit: Well I guess I've got my answer, and I've been running my PS2 for 4 days now practically nonstop. Yay for IIDX

I ran my jps2 for about a year and a half without the converter and nothing happened to it.

The voltage is indeed different, but unlike it's ancestor, the PS2 only takes the energy it needs, therefore it's safe to plug in directly.

All I have is a JPS2. Had it about 1 month after it was released. No problem.

Add one more to the count of people telling you that its OK to plug a J-PS2 into an American electrical outlet without a converter.

I've had mine since December...no frying yet!

Add one more. I've had mine over a year. I even leave it plugged in all the time. It's still perfectly happy.
