    Re: ps3 regions free

    I believe its region free and you'll be able to play online ok too (someone correct me if i am wrong)

    I have read somewhere that backward compatibility is NOT region free.

    Re: ps3 regions free

    Yep region free for games

    I only buy from the US though as they are so cheap right now -all work fine on my European PS3.

    Also online is fine, its the account you create that is localised not the PS3 as such. I have created 3 accounts for UK/US/Hong kong so can get downloads etc from all major regions.

    What about PAL/NTSC issues? I'd guess that'd be an issue if playing on a SDTV and irrelevant on a HDTV.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: ps3 regions free

    PS3 games are region free, PS2/1, DVD and Blu-ray are region locked.

    Not sure about the refresh rate with PAL/NTSC.

    have to agree with your sentiment on reliability from my personal experience as well.

    Yep, blu ray movies are locked generally - but there are allot that are region free and work fine on my Euro PS3, if you go here http://www.movietyme.com/catalog/def...3f05&cPath=355
    there are 164 blu-ray region free discs - new release prices starting from £12.99 inc deliv. Bargain
