hey guys,

i live in germany and i'm going to buy a PS3 in the US with "GTA 4" together... so my question is: is it possible to play PAL games on the US PS3 ? ... would suck for me if i have to buy every game from the US :X

...oh and i think it's possible to use the us ps 3 here on the german plasma tv's

The only thing you'll have trouble with is playing DVD and Bluray I think too, as they're region locked, all PS3 games are region free though.

its like this :
all PS3 are
region free for ps3 games
but
not region free for old games PS1 PS2 and Dvd movies (never played a BD movie so don't know nothing about it) but on some forums they say BD movies are also region locked

So to say it more clearly : Ps3 games are region free , movies and old ps1/2 games aren't

BUT THEY are few expections like StrangleHold PS3 was region locked because it has Hardboiled movie included on the BD disk

And what with the languages?? Do all the games have every language on every BD?
I mean, sometimes games are subtitled, would be fun to have audio in english and subs in dutch or something.

Well every game i bought in belgium, contained every language on it. We have 2 languages in belgium, the french part dubs the games, the dutch part usual has original version with english subtitles. I've bought a couple of games with box only in french, manual in french and mentioned on the box "game completely in french", it stil played in english (coz my "bios" is configured in english). Most games will contain every language and boot the different one depending on the language of your OS.

Metal Gear Solid 4 however will be an exception to that rule. as the disc is already full with the game, there was no place left on the disc to add every language on it. So if you import it from japan, you'll only get japanese text and language, in france only french, and so on.

Ah thanks, so you say that it is possible to (with every other game than MGS4) import them from US (cheap dollar) and play them on my PS3?

It won't work out of the box, you'll need to buy a German transformer/plug, USA voltage is half that of Germany. OK if you like fireworks ....

I thought the PS3's power supply is compatible world-wide? I'm pretty sure I've heard something like this.

I'm talking about the games, not the console. I already have a console.

The Ps3`s powersupply is universal. all you need is a standard powercable that fits.
Thats all.

Phylum22 is the definition of wrong.

the voltage of my PS3 is set from 220 volts to 240 volts. Got some problems there, as currently, the national voltage is set at 210 volts, but at last it worked.

I've noticed anyway that some problems are detected between ntsc an pal systems with the standard tv cables (the yellow one). to avoid them, simply connect a hdmi cable; you will love it!

right now im playing gran turismo prologue and beowulf. have my assasins creed still in the box.

im waiting for gta4, crysis (with the gun control) and the metal gear solid one!!!
