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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
