Ok here's the deal... i know that the games on the ps3 are region free... but when i downlaod a demo on the american account i ussually play the games in black and white (which sucks). I believe if i had a hd tv this would correct this, but i got a sdtv. But there were 2 demos that i took from the us store that showed color... virtua tennis and dirt.

So i assume if i buy any of those 2 games imported, there wont be an issue.. anybody know if there is a way to know? And why do those game work fine? Is there any other way to get colour in those games? My blu-ray movie of casino royal also displays in b&w...

I take it you are hooked up via a standard definition method such as the SCART? If so then yes, the games would all play in black and white. You're also right in hooking up to a high def set via component or HDMi will take care of this.

Some games are still set to display only NTSC or PAL and because sony are retarded and made the PS3 incapable of displaying both modes, there are problems with some games. I would think that if the demo does not display in PAL then the full game will be the same. It's hard to know for sure though. Best thing to do is ask around on more PAL friendly boards about whatever games you want to import. I know F.E.A.R had problems on PAL machines but have no idea about any other games.

I live in a PAL region, with a PAL PS3, and I got Spiderman 3 Imported from the US and it diplayed in colour so I don't think there should be any problems.
