My books are all published by Bloomsbury (UK), and PS is the only one I've 
read in both "versions." However I feel safe in saying that the difference 
between the two was *extremely* minute, practically indiscernable unless you 
had both copies out in front of you and were purposly looking for a 
difference. All they changed was a random word here and there (ie: "lot" to 
"crowd" or "jumper" to "sweater") so if you're buying the UK versions hoping 
to see any significant difference, I really wouldn't suggest it because 
there isn't one. Rowling herself has stated in numerous interviews that the 
different "versions" were highly overrated, and I would agree. Hope that 
helps!
