PS3 games aren't region locked, however the online mode for some games can be region locked. ie if you buy a game from Europe and play it in America it will connect you to the Europe network causing a lot of lag. Not all games have online region locked but a good portion do.

even if im playing it on an ordinary SDTV not an HDTV?

i hear that "NTSC console + PAL game + SDTV = Error"

so is "NTSC-US console + NTSC-JAP game + SDTV = Error" too ????

1.) Search.

2.) "HELP NEEDED GUYS PLEASE!!!" is an eyesore. That needs a changing.

3.) NTSC doesn't have any region codes. If it's NTSC, it'll play on any NTSC TV. Region-coding is what you're thinking about, and that's nonexistent on the PS3... well, more or less.

1) Actually i did search. and came up with those statements

2) Grow up

3) There IS region coding beacause if there werent, then games wouldnt come with the Region 1,2 and 3 icons printed on them.

4) if you have an NTSC console and a SDTV and you play a PAL game like GTA4 it WONT work, thats a fact and its tested by me and many others.

1) You didn't search very well because i came up with all your answers through 1 simple google search.

2) http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487 Number 7

3)The PS3 can play all region games, a region code is just that. a code to tell you what region the game comes from.

4) yes your right, Pal games (50hz) wont work on older ntsc sdtv's. as KajNrig said NTSC games (60hz) regardless of region will work on any NTSC tv.

I think it's time a few rules are looked over again by EVERYONE.

6. No foul language, insults, personal attacks or otherwise rude messages.

14. If you see a post that violates any of these rules, please report it to our moderators using the "Report an offensive post" link. Do not play the role of a moderator if you are not one. There is absolutely no need to nitpick on the posts of new users. Let the moderators do their work.
