ps3 games are region free ;)

A ha so i can get Japanese ps3 games nice.

Thanks btw

Yeah lol PS3 games were never region locked just like PSP games. Only Blu-Ray movies and UMD movies are region locked.SPD_WeBmAsTaH

I live in bristol in england and went over to new york way back in march for a holiday and got myself a blu-ray movie and works fine for me i think its only basic dvds which are a problem

So that also means i can get japanese ps2 games too?

Because there were a lot of them that i could never play on my american ps2.

i have a question for you guys..since you said you want japanese ps3 games, doesnt that mean you live in a country other than japan? Im thinking of ordering a japanese PS3 game as well but I cant read or understand japanese? Am i missing something?

I haven't imported any Japanese PS3 games, but I have imported some Nintendo Japanese games. Generally, if the title is a JP exclusive, the text and spoken parts will be in Japanese. So it all depends on the kind of game as to whether that poses a problem. I imported Naruto 4 for the Gamecube and generally did OK with it because there was no storyline to try to comprehend. It was just a matter of some trial-and-error on the menu screen and in figuring out controls. Same with the golfing game I picked up. On the other hand, I tried a Zelda game and was completely lost since it utilizes a lot of text... I didn't know which end was up.

So for games that are fairly action oriented and story doesn't matter, or sports kind of games, importing is a fine option. However, RPGs would be difficult. There are sometimes guides online for japanese games that translate the menus and some of the in-game stuff to help you know what is going on.
