a) Buy a north american power supply for the device (if it seperate). This is acceptable for Slim line PS2

read the info on the unit carefully and completely

What's available on e-bay for slim PS3 seems to state

Model: EADP-185AB
AC Output: 100V~240V, 2.1A-0.8A 50/60HZ
DC Output: 12V--13.0A, 5.5V-- 0.9A

Does yours match this?

Doesn't surprise me, I used to use my old UK sony TV on a transfomer set up, untill I ran into a remote controller issue, pulled the back off the unit to get the part number only to find out that the unit which was 'externally' rated only 240v 50hz had a universal switch mode power supply inside rated 90v to 260v 50/60hz..

Thanks guys sorry for the delayed response. One is a ps3 slim, the other is the newer super slim. On the bottom on the units it says 220-240v, 50-60hz. So I decided to open them both up and look at the power supply inside the unit as Ive read its universal, On the actual power supply inside the ps3 it clearly states 100-240v 50-60hz. So I persume all I need Is a kettle type leads with the 2 prongs and they are good to go, that saves me a few quid on transformers etc.

yep... sometimes its worth a look inside..
