Q: Can I bring my game console back from the states?

Or are the cops going to take it at the airport? Not sure.

Which system?  I thought about doing this, but then I worried about having to transform the local 220v down to 110v for extended periods of time. What's your plan for this? I've got both a PS3 and a Gamecube collecting dust at the moment, that would definitely help pass some time here.  Unfortunately they are both 110v only (no dual voltage power source, like a laptop).

You can bring it, but barring the issues already mentioned, you won't be able to play the local pirated games unless you crack the system, but that will void your warranty and also your gamertag/any way to play online so that might not be worth it.

 

If you bring it to play your own games, you might not be thrill with the internet connection or that your online friends will be sleeping whenever you log on.

 

Depending on how long you're going to be here, might be more worth it to invest in a handheld if you swing that way. Or, go the whole hog and get a new system and crack it just for local use.

A:Chinese are generally pretty tolerant friendly and accepting whatever foreigners do.  I spent 15 years in China but I wouldn't say there are that many don'ts....Don't assume that many people speak English though and learn some Chinese. Don't speak much about politics unless you want to praise Chinese system.  -- Natalie363
