I use a standard pc power cable. Presume it's the same as its a power supply. So any pc store. Just ask for a power cable.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

The newer ones use a figure of eight (C7) plug, available at all good electrical stores. HifiCorp etc should stock.

Old PHAT Ps3 uses a kettle cord, and new PS3 uses a DVD or Printer power cord. Any PC place should carry them.

I'd be interested to see how much they charge.

I paid R20 for a slim power cable from an electrical / Hardware store

Or just hack off the UK plug and put on a South African one.

Well it might have Sony printed on it. That's worth at least R100.

I bought the C7 for R75

Does it burn?

Local electronic and gaming stores your best bet although you will probably get ripped on the price.

Its a normal kettle/pc cable, you can use anything really.

If the PS3 switches on, you know its the right cable.

If the PS3 switches on, you know its the right cable.

And if it bursts into flames, you know to go back and get the "other" cable?

A buddy of mine got his PS3 overseas, just put a SA plug on. If you don't like playing electrician though, you can get a replacement from pretty much any hardware or electronics store (like a few other members have said). Will save you a few bucks.
