Breaking the ground off the power cord wont break the unit. It will still run, but the ground is there in case of a fault in the circuit. If there is a fault in the circuit and you do not have a ground on the plug, the machine can become energized itself or the board in the Ps3 can get "fried". So you are right. The ground is for safety. Its not needed for the Ps3 to work since all plugs have a neutral and are grounded initially at the panel in your house
