Well Im from Australia and have gotten my PS3 from Australia. Since the games are quite expensive here, I was wondering if i bought games online from ebgames.com (America)... Would it work on my PS3 system?

Thanks :)

PS3 games are region free, so I dont think that it would be a problem, but for online games, you'd only be able to play on the servers set for the region the game is from.

I buy most of my games from North America. Canada to be exact. DVDBoxOffice.com offer free shipping to Australia and most games cost around AUD$60-$70.

As mentioned above PS3 games are region free. As long as your TV supports NTSC and if it's HD HD@60 Hz you'll have no issues.

Are they Australian versions of the games? If so the list is pretty pointless. Create a US account and download a US demo, if it works sweet... if not buy a new TV because importing games is going to save you heaps.

The demos usually hit the US and Canadian PlayStation Stores first so if there is a particular game demo coming up you are interested in you would be able to get it weeks before it hits the Australian store.

Regarding your hookup presently, is your tv a high definition set and are you connected via component or HDMI?

So your TV has to be HD to play games bought online, or from other countries?

Ok I'm gonna try to help

You can buy any games but some games have the online play region locked (Army of Two is the only one I can think of) so you would only be able to play with North American people, most work world wide though.

As for the making a US account to download demos, make one download a few demos and if demos work with your TV that should mean the North American retail games would as well

The main thing is to get the city and zip code matching up- use Beverly Hills, California with 90210 as the zip code.

Try this :)

Comerica Park (Home of the Detroit Tigers MLB team :))

2100 Woodward Ave.

Detroit, MI 48216

Detroit is the city

MI is Michigan the state

48216 is the zip code

That should be enough

Create a new master account on your PS3 using a new email address, put in a US address for it. This will give you access to the US PSN. Download a US game demo, this will let you know if your TV supports NTSC or not. If all is good start importing US titles, if not buy a new TV because you'll save a heap of money buy buying US titles.
