Just scored my self a PS3, and was wondering if any Melbourne people out there have any PS3 games, or where to buy them locally?

Console came with Gundam which doesnt interest me.

Dont think blockbuster has ps3 games for rent at this stage so im stuck with a console and no games :happy:

Cheers

Patrick

at the moment you can only import games, Release dates for games are around launch here so maybe hit up play-asia, works out cheaper but the RFOM game has blood cut out of it for the Asian market so I have been told so might be better to wait for it to be released here.

this is true

BUT if you download an america save game file, the blood will be turn on... check out ps3forums.com for more details

not for PS3 games it's not. region free - finally.

BUT

normal regions still apply for DVDs, and PS2 games, and PS1 games, and there are new regions I believe for BD.

  • 3 weeks later...

as I said above. PS3 games are region free. ie there are no regions. so yes you can play and PS3 game, from any country on any PS3.

BUT

dvds, BDs etc are region encoded so you can play discs from the region that corresponds to your console only.

im thinking of grabbing a gold one from play asia, which would mean its japanese... but not 100% sure if i can play .avi or .wmv on PSP...

Also, if the PSP is japanese with english language selected, and the games were english, i wouldnt have any unnecessary japanese popping up would i?

In regards to the japanese PSP as long as the language is set to english and your playing games that support english you won't have a problem. Another thing to remember about the japanese games is that here in Australia "X" is used to confirm and "O" is used to cancel. The japanese ones are reversed "X" is back and "O" is confirm. If you are playing an Australian game then it will be setup for Australia but as I mentioned if you play a Japanese game then the confirm and cancel buttons are reversed.

Also if I remember correctly the PSP doen't support AVI files you will need to convert your movies to mp4 (I think) there is plenty of free programs to convert them for you.

Just to clarify - ps3 games are region free but im pretty sure you cant, for example, get a ntsc version of a ps2 game and play it on your ps3. ps2 and ps1 games are still region locked....

But anyway, i dont have any ps3 games yet, but have resistance and ridge racer on preorder for the 23rd!

sometimes I feel like no-one ever reads anything I post. lol this thread has become a kind of ground hog day.

Sorry BB, but I did need that clarification from spin psycle :laugh:

I should have been more specific with my question, what I actually wanted to know, was "can i play my old psx + ps2 ntsc and pal games on a ps3"

......maybe i should just get the ps2 chipped, at least that way i can toss the psx and still play all my games, and then there's some space to fit another console. :happy:

well there are 3 regions for blu-ray currently i don't know of any movies that are enforcing the region locks.

A/1 North America, Central America, South America, Koreas, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

B/2 Europe, Greenland, French territories, Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

C/3 India, Nepal, Mainland China, Russia, Central and South Asia.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
