US Computers Get Fried in Japan?

A computer. I strongly advise you purchase a desktop system in Japan. Don't try and ship one from your home country or buy a laptop before you go. The voltage difference (while slight) is enough to fry rechargeable batteries, CD/DVD ROM drives, or even hard drives over time.
Is that true? Has anyone here ever heard of that? I plan on bringing my PS2 over. Will my PS2 fry over time as well? Or is that author full of ****?
When I went to orientation, all the alumni recommended bringing a laptop, not a single one mentioned anything about parts frying.
