But it's something I just want to know. My PS2 and Laptop have the same AC adapter plugs but the difference is that the laptop adapter outputs 18v while the PS2 one outs 8.5v. What happens if I plug my laptop adapter into the PS2?
Might be a blindingly obvious question....

It might blow...
The diffrence is not that big, so it might work. I have fried a couple of things using the wrong voltage. However, thats becuase I am traveling a lot between the US and Europe, 110 vs 230. There is a noticble difference

Things besides voltage to look out for:
Does the polarity (+/-) match?
Is the amperage (A or mA) somewhat close?
Is the output of the supply AC or DC?
The polarity is easy to fix by cutting the cord and crisscrossing the wires.
The voltage and amperage don't have to be exact, but the closer the better.
AC outputting power supplies are pretty rare.
If you try it and it doesn't power on immediately, pull it out and don't screw with it.
If it does work, check the temperature of the supply once in a while, if it's really hot, pull that sucka!
Hope that helps a little.

If you have the AC adaptor for the PS2..and the adapter for your laptop..why dont you just use each adapter for their respective device? o.o This seems like a very redundant question. And yes, its usually a bad idea to plug something into something else that doesnt take that voltage...especially if its higher.

Oh jeez! I read that too quick, I thought you were saying 8 volt & 8.5 volt!
18v & 8.5v is way too big of a difference!

Meh, tried it last night. Plugged the laptop one into the PS2. The little noises it makes when booting up changed and then it made the PS2 motor spin REAL fast. Pulled it out.... so yeah. If you were wondering what it does, it doesn't kill the PS2 as such but I know that I wouldn't be using that adapter for a while.

You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.+1 -

@SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.+2

@RedColoredStars, Reminds me of a similar game called "Neko Atsume", similar to Nintendogs but you look after cats. -
