Your best bet is to buy region free games when u go china. Saves you lots of hassle. However you can goggle or better still wikipedia to understand the whole region bound consoles stuff! e.g. i live in UK meaning i am in the Pal region and can only play pal ps3 games with the exception of region free games. So am guessin the US & Canada is NTSC region. If you find any of those in china go for it or just purchase the region free games. If you buy any other, it wont work on your system!!. Playin in english shouldn't be a problem 4 most game theres always a multi laguage option for u in which english is a most!!

PS3 games have region codes but they don't prevent us from playing those games on any PS3. But BD movies are a different story. Buy only your region's BD movies.

I have an EU PS3 and i can play Japanese "Heavenly sword" on it. If you don't have a HDTV then there can be a little issue with foreign games. They could be colourless.

That's how it was back in the day when i had SDTV. Now when i own HDTV i can enjoy the views of redhaired Nariko kicking bad guys asses.
