I have bought my PS3 in middle east and I imported many Blurays from USA and they all have been OK till Pirates of the Caribbean 3.So three is a region coding on these stupid things. I believe HD-DVD will not region code….If bluray are clever, they better switch the region coding off cause all will head off the other route. (Including me)

My PS3 appears to be one of those that is not region free. Will I have to return it and get another one?

Just wondering if anybody has found out if the PS3 wil played any region dvd’s . I know it will be limited to strict regions on Blue ray dvds and region free on games but was hoping to find out about normal dvds . Any ideas ?

USA versions of the PS3 will not play PAL encoded DVDs, at least with firmware 1.5. Perhaps when the EU version is released this will become possiable. Hopefully a hack in in the works…

I’ve just got a PS3 unit and I believe it’s been imported from Japan. The unit seems to refuse to play PAL region DVDs when I insert them. Any assistance on this one would be appreciated.

Thats also true solkre but some people in the world are silly for buying things overprice because it has a sony label on it id rather wait until it comes down in price .. ps2 still showing some potential anyways (after god knows how many years its been out )

Taylor2k that’s part of the PS3 problem. I don’t want to pay for the freaking media, I want to pay for the game! I shouldn’t have overpriced software beacuse they chose to use the rarest of media. Sure manufacturing prices will eventually go down, but I doubt that’ll lower retail prices for us on the games.

Games shouldn’t be treated as oil.

Come this holiday season when there’s roughly 1 PS3 to every 850 people the quote “or that they have nothing” will fit right in place. Can someone say forced launch?
