Recently obtained a PS2 with an American plug. Will it run fine with a standard little outlet adapter, or would such a device require an actual converter?

Thanks.

Have one myself, since PS2 has region lock.

I've always heard that it's a bad idea to use a converter long term, especiall for electronics. But I don't personally know any horror stories.

Thanks for the response. By converter do you mean simple plug or the fancy transformer gizmo? Cheers.

The converter is the plug adapter.

The transformer is the box thing.

I got a transformer I use both for my PS2 and Nintendo DS and it's worked fine.
