Is the PS3 multi-voltage?

Hi


Anyone know if the PS3 is multi-voltage, and now that I think about it, region code free?

For the multi-voltage I mean, can an American PS3 be played in Europe without a converter?

Thanks

But the PS3 manual says a converter will fry it.

I've heard of cases where Europeans take Japanese PS3's and use them there, only changing the power cable, since its back end is the same everywhere. But I'm wondering if this would work with an American PS3
