Would an imported PS2 from Hong Kong play British PS2 games and DVD's because they use PAL and have the same plugs etc? If anyone knows please reply!

plus you will have to buy import games and @ £60 a pop ...no thanks
oh can you read chinese...seriously mate give it a while untill you can get it here
I have just had one brought over from Tokyo ( I assume yours will be Japan version?).
In answer to your question. You need to buy a heavy duty convertor that will turn uk 240 V to Japan 100 V. Dont buy cheap stuff as you need a power rateing of at least 50 Watts.
The lead that comes in the box has three connectors for the TV, I got a convertor that accepts these three and makes them into a scart lead... about £6.00. On two TV's that I have used this has worked fine. The Sony accepted without no problem, the Other TV needed a bit of menu fiddle to get the channel to be NTSC. But if NTSC is not supported by your TV then the image will be black and white ( only remedy is to buy a NTSC to PAL convertor). Most modern middle price large TV's should support NTSC.
As to DVD's I have just found out that Eurpoe is in the same territory as Japan (Region 2) so all UK DVD's should work fine.
