My dear son is worried that he will not be able to play PS3 games with his UK friends online when we move over. I frequently hear Americans swearing from his bedroom so I assume this is incorrect??????

Incorrect.

Get a good head phone mic setup and lots of gb intnet. My lad spends hours talking to his mates and playing on line games with them. But it uses lots of giggi bites.

Not a problem at all. If you are bringing his PS3 over with him, please read the Wiki for advice about Games Consoles w.r.t Power-Connectivity-Games.

Internet connection-wise, the specifications for connecting to an internet router/modem is standard across the world, for example my UK procured Netbook connects to my Bell router via wifi or LAN cable without a problem.

I also have a UK Wii connected to a Canadian TV which I play Mario Karts against friends in the UK.

Cheers

I have to translate for mine when he plays UK kids, I'm thoroughly ashamed of him.

Thank you all, he will be very reassured.
