Can you use a UK ps2 on a US TV?
UK PS2s use PAL format, US TVs use NTSC, which both have different frame rates. If you try to use the UK PS2 on a US TV, the image will flicker and jump around due to this disparity. While many UK TVs can switch to an NTSC mode, the opposite is rare in the US. But you can get a converter box which both devices plug into, you'd have to buy it online.
Will UK Nintendo Wii games work on a US Nintendo Wii?
No, The two types of consoles have different region encoding. This is called Region Lockout (or Region Lock). They are incompatible. UK games will not work on a US wii. The UK use a PAL (Phase Alternating Line) system whereas the US use NTSC (National Television System Committee). There is a CD called Freeloader which should allow you to play games from different regions on your US wii. i.e JP and UK games will work on the US wii with the CD
Can you use a US Xbox in UK?
As far as I know yes, but the UK games might not work for it. that's how it was with my old gamecube but I've yet to try it with an Xbox.
Can you use the charger from your UK ds lite to recharge a ds lite bought in us?
Yes you can. The important thing for your DS Lite is the output from the charger not the input. All DS Lites (US or UK or anywhere) all want the same input charge so if you are in the UK a UK charger is exactly what you want to charge any DS regardless of where it came from. The difference is the input to the charger and what it has to do to convert that to what the DS wants so if you are in the UK then a UK charger is perfecto.
Will a Wii bought in the US work in the UK?
It will work if you can get a UK power adaptor for it, and if you have a NTSC compatible TV, but you will only will be able to play games from the US, not ones from the UK.
