The player has a 1.1 profile which does not include online functionality. So PIP yes, BD-Live no. Neither does it play DVD+ or MP3.

The power consumption during use is stated as 21 W, so a converter with 55 W like the one for 10 USD should be more than enough. You don't need neither 500 Watt nor the step-down component

Yes, according to the specifications. Step-up AND down is completely useless unless you intend to carry it with you during your next trip to Europe to power your hair dryer.

I'd love to see jw try to blow-dry his hair with a 1500W Hairdryer being powered by a 55W Transformer

Sorry, couldn't resist

I had those transformer boxes in Germany. I had two 300 Volts, I think maybe it was Watts. For all the stuff in my room. There was a 75 one but noooo, my PS2 had be 79 so I couldn't buy the 75. But I only spent $20 on them from a thrift shop on one of the US Bases there.

I would be willing to purchase a PS3 from the UK, but I don't know if it would be allowed to ship here without paying insane import fees.

On the other hand, I would probably get confused and mix the two players up. Then I would rupture a vein if I put a US BD into the UK PS3 or vice versa.
