First gen PS3 is coming up to six years old now anyway, so no, it won't be a issue if he got a new one.
Thanks

Does anyone happen to know if this is the same for a 360? Will the console and games work in the US if bought in the UK?

Yes, but the same issues apply and games are regioned, so you'd need to check if a game has regioning on it if you buy locally.

It's also a major cnut keeping the subscription going if you change credit cards to one abroad and it's also a bigger hassle to cancel it, especially once a card has expired.

Also, power leads are specific to the generation of the 360, so you've got to be more careful about buying the right one.

Thanks Bob.... the hubby/kids 360 we have in the Uk is a few years old now, so probably about time for an upgrade anyway, so will most likely buy a new console once in the States. but will need to check the region of the games to see if worth shipping or selling.

Good chunk of the games would be okay, Play Asia is a good site to check against - http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-00-3-x...ide-49-en.html
