Will a US bought TS500 work with an AUS PS3?

[ReefDweller]

I am looking to get the TS500 and I see Amazon in the US have them for $599.

I am in Australia and want to know if there is any difference between the US version and the Australian version and will it work here?

The only difference between regions is the power supply, I don't know the voltage in US and AUS so I don't know if it'll work.

US - 120v

Aus - 240v

You will need a stepdown transformer for it to work in Aus.

Oh, yes. I forgot about that bit. Looks like I will be forking out the higher price for the AUS version

It's only an extra $150.00, shipping costs from the U.S to Aus for an item of that size and weight would be hefty also. Probably brake even.

Not need any transformer: power supply of T500 is already "100/240V" = compatible in all countries.

Just change US power cable with a standard AUS cable:

I was initially looking at getting a fanatec shipped from the US when I was looking at wheels, the postage cost with UPS for a box of that size & weight was $600. I kid you not, $600. I seriously wouldn't bother-my opinion would be to simply visit JB Hi Fi or EB Games and simply buy one in store. Plus you have warranty which you can claim locally and it is simply much more convenient. Hope this helps!

Same thing happened to me while ordering 2 buttkickers out of the States, they wanted like $80 per unit for delivery.
