Yes, it will work. But will it work perfectly? No, I´m sorry to say - but it will work 98%. The games that you´ll buy in Europe will work on the American bought PS3 system, although the PlayStation network will not work as it will say that: "it is not available in your region", which sucks.
The great thing about the Blu-Ray disc system is that its region-free :D
-Sure updates work.
-Games work.
-On-line play works (perfectly if I might add).
-But accessing the PS3network will prove to be a kick in the nuts..
all ps3 games are region free so you can buy them from everywhere. i hope you havnt bought a xbox 360 because they are very unreliable
Im sorry to tell you that the U.S PS3 games will not work on UK PS3 console, and the reason for that is -The PS3 games are made with regions. The US PS3 games are made for region 1 and UK PS3 games are region 2... Therefore the region 1 ps3 console will only play region 1 ps3 games, just like region 2 ps3 console will only play region 2 ps3 games. Hope that makes any sense. If you have more questions just message me. The reason is not region coding, but it is the USA TV design system is different from the others and games made to work for the USA system do not all have the ability to be changed and be played on the UK and Europe TVs. The affect is the same as if they were region coded except that region coding fixes also will not work because it is the TVs that can not play the games and not the PS3
No, the games are region locked. Like the games I bought in the US have the number 1 on the side, so your PS3 would have to be region code 1.This answer is infact, wrong. The PS3 is region free. Meaning games from all around the world can be played on it. The only things which wont work on your ps3 because of a region lock are PS1 games, PS2 games and Blu-ray films.Sources: I have been abroad numerous times and bought PS3 games. They have all worked.
It is not one of the reasons listed for being banned. You might want to review the related question and it's PlayStation Network link anyway.
Wii games are region-locked, US games for it will not work on a European console.
No they do not because the TV System is different
No they can not
No, that is impossible. Euope has a PAL code and the US uses NTSC/U.
no because UK runs on a diffrent voltage system
Yes it will, only with Japanese regional games. It won't work with games that you buy from US due to regional restriction
all ps3 games are region free so you can buy them from everywhere. i hope you havnt bought a xbox 360 because they are very unreliable
It will work in most countries in Europe. However, it will not work in the United States because the US uses different frequencies from Europe.
Yes dear you can.
No
No
Yes, they will work anywhere.
Probably not w/o an adaptor. The voltage in the outlets are different in the US and Europe. The frequency is different too but usually that's not critical.
