80028F10 error PLEASE HELP !!!!

Hi. I got my PS3 just today, with a copy of Oblivion.

when I want to play the game it says:

" This game is not supported. Error 80028F10 "

My PS3 is NTSC-J while the blu-ray is for Europe (PAL).

I had heard that the PS3 is region-free, but it doesn't work!!!!

what can I do??????? PLEASE !!!!

My current TV can handle both NTSC & PAL, I'm sure because I've checked it with a camera shoting both in PAL & NTSC and it worked fine...

what's wrong with it ??? can I fix it with a firmware update or something???? (it's 1.54 now)

i wudve said it was the TV too.... but i dont no. try it on a friends? have you tried any other game apart from oblivion on it?amcallister902

No unfortunately! I'm totally broke after buying it! nothing more but oblivion... :(

what's wrong with it ??? can I fix it with a firmware update or something???? (it's 1.54 now)

of course!! you have to download the new firmware update!!! it´s now on 1.82.....like oblivion is a new game it is maybe because of that....update your ps3 and the game should work!

No no! Oblivion itself updated my FW from 1.50 to 1.54. Do you think there's an incompatibility issue that I need 1.84 ?

It means your PS3 got cancer.Devils_Joker_22

Can I run Folding@Home to fix that ??? ;)

3. enter ur blue tooth address for the lamp that is giving you the problem with connection

4. exit out and save all changes to the custom firmware, and restart the system

5. tada!!!!!!! enjoy your new bluetooth lamp!!!!!!!!!

For some reason there is an issue with this game, where the game won't let the PS3 output to PAL resolution. You need to play the game at a HD resolution (720p, 1080i) I got my AU copy of Oblivion and it only works at HD resolutions, not at SD resolutions (on my US PS3) Same issue with Tekken DR.
I own a US PS3.

I had the same problem... This is why it doesn't work...

Linked, and this is not entirly true. My AU copy of R6: Vegas works fine on SDTV as does my AU copy of Super Rub-A-Duck.
For some reason, select games won't work on SD and need to output on a HD format.

Oh my God! this means I need a %*#@ HDTV to run this game!!!!!!

Damn it sony! it supposed to be REGION-FREE !!!!!! :( :? :O

yea i know... i own a pal copy of motorstorm and it works fine on sd... I guess some games can be run at pal as well as ntsc resolutions...tehpiecemaker

I guess it is down to the developer, even those some games can do it (like R6, MotorStorm, Fight Night, F1 which all runs) while other didn't... I still think it could be the firmware.

Thanks a lot guyz... now I understand.

so let's wrap it up with this for future references :

THIS GAME IS NOT SUPPORTED (80028F10)

Buy a BRAVIA...

PS3 games are region free not the PS3 itself, HD is the same worldwide that's why if you have a HDTV you can play any game no matter where it comes from, the problem is your TV is SD which isn't the same worldwide as there is PAL and NTSC to contend with, you cant go blaming Sony for your TV problems,

Oh and there IS a way to bypass this problem btw... If you have the pal version of RFOM that is...

don't buy a bravia just because sony is forcing you get a samsung their newer models all come with 3 HDMI (latest version) and 1080p through all other connections,they have the same panel but the samsungs have better black than the bravia's and all about200-300 cheaper.

What about Oblivion ? is there any way to play this marvel in my SDTV ??? PLEASE!!!

I can't buy an HD display right now! I'm totally broke... :( I must spend about $1000 for it !!!!

BTW, what about a PC monitor ? can I hook the PS3 up with the monitor?

umm yea, thats whats explained in the link... making pal games like oblivion work on ntsc systems with the help of RFOM... n yea you can connect your ps to a monitor by using a hdmi to dvi converter...

either get a dvi convertor like he said^, or, go rent reistance and do whats explained in the link......like what he said ^, surely you have a couple of bucks to fix your ps3 and play a great game :D

I have the same problem! but with a PSN downloaded ps1 game and dvd movies! it tells me either:

You cannot play this game at the current video output setting (80028F10)

or

Video in the PAL broadtcast standard is not supported!

Now, im using a 23" samsung via componant cables and neither work! just to quickly point out, regular dvds, UK and JAPAn both share Region 2! and iv never had this problem with my 360, so why such a crappy protection?

any1 think that when the next firmware update rolls out that if i update firmware to PAL version that it might fix this (never hurt the psp's!) and yes, im bringing this thread back to life!

Your samsung isn't HD, is it?

componant cables = hd only, its set to 1080i. if i had a problem with it going to the tv, i would se no picture at all!

so to answer, yes, yes it is HD lol

Hey man! component doesn't necessarily mean that it's HD !!! remember Wii component cables ???

I think you should use HDMI to fix that but i'm not sure.I thought it'll be fine with an HDTV..........

SO AGAIN PLEASE HELP FOLKS !!!!

Oh My God !!! I have this problem too , I have 3 Uk games on my US ps3 and not only one works, That s*ck man.

All my savings on those 3 games. SONY Region Free?? You forgot to mention about the TV!! Now I need to pay for a HDTV.

I have the same problem, but I have an HDTV. SO do I just need to buy an HDMI cable to solve the problem?indianbadman

aparently yes. but try and post your results here, please.

think everybody allready knows that but: yes...whith an HDMI cable works just fine.

in fact, whith an V component cable goes fine too...

Sorry for bring this thread back to life, I just don't feel there is a need to create a new thread for the same problem. I just downloaded FF VII off the UK PSN store last night but once I installed it and ran it on my US PS3, it came up with the error mentioned in the title.

Now its not a TV problem since I game on a HDTV and have yet to have a problem with any other game. Was wondering if any one knew if PSone games downloaded off the store were still region locked like their disked version since that the only thing I can think off that could create such a problem.

Anyway, any help solving this problem of mine you be fantasic!

Cheers for now, Peter D

Have exaclty the same problem, Final fantasy 7 downloaded from PSN (UK version) and won't play on my (Korean) PS3. Using a Samsung HD TV and a HDMI cable. Never had any problems running European, Japanese or US titles, also never encountered any problems playing games downloaded from PSN. HELP PLEASE!

Bump. Just bought the AU version on my Japanese PS3, same error. Pretty damn cut.

Also on a full HD HDTV connected via HDMI.

Any workaround ? =/

For those of you with PSN version of FFVII, this wiki article states that, "DLC and PSN Titles are also region locked..." I would assume that this also aplies to PSX titles, though I can't be sure.

I found this thread via Google, as I am also getting this error in FFVII, despite the fact that I have a UK PS3 and my copy is from the UK PSN Store. My monitor is compatiable with basically any resolution I can throw at it up to 1920x1200, so I know it's not that. If I go to Display Settings -> HDMI -> Automatic, then try to play FFVII, I get the 80028F10 error, along with, "You cannot play this game at the current vdeo output setting". The obvious solution to this was to change the resolution manually, so this I did. If I go to Display Settings -> HDMI -> Custom and uncheck 1080p, leaving all others checked, THEN go to play the game... it works. I have a very similar problem with DVDs, where my PS3 stops sending HDMI video and AV audio outputs if I try to play a DVD when my current output is 1080p (i.e. it just crashes. No amount of ejecting or button mashing brings my picture back). I have to manually change to 1080i/720p first and then play the DVD, at which point it upscales it no problem.

I don't know if this will help those of you with non-UK PS3s, you may have already tried a similar method, but it may help some of the others who look here. To me, given the specific circumstances under which it doesn't work, I think it's a firmware problem; with Sony, that's a double-edged sword, since it means it's fixable but also that it may never be fixed.

*EDIT*: After some further research, this blog would suggest that PSX games, even from the PSN, still obey the region lock, despite the age of the post.

This article on Joystiq does a good job of explaining the problems encountered when mixing PAL and NTSC games/devices, which may answer the questions for those of you using SD TVs. It also mentions that this error code is being seen by people for multiple reasons - generally to do with compatibility of one sort or another, be it NTSC/PAL issues because you're playing on an SD TV, or region-related issues.

Thanks a lot guyz... now I understand.
