UT3 isn't released in Australia until late feb,

I dont have the patients to wait that long so i was thinking of importing a copy.

I know that the ps3 is region free. But would a pal ps3 system be able to run an American ntsc version of ut3 in standard definition using the av cables?

I read somewhere that an ntsc system had troubles running a pal game so im not sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

was that using the standard av cable? The hd cables dont use pal or ntsc anymore its the same everywhere. Because the pal system has more lines i wasnt sure if the ps3 would upscale it or just not display... i think im just confusing myself lol

I'm using HDMI.I'd imagine that the PS3 would output the pic as NTSC, it's just if your tv will accept that signal??I've had VHS (pal) machines that played ntsc tapes ok... so i reckon a PS3 should be ok with an ntsc disc on a pal machine!! i'm pretty sure that it's if your tv can take an ntsc signal.... do you know if yours can??

I've just had a quick look on the interwebs... and nobody seems sure if an ntsc game will work on standard def pal!!I've got an ntsc version of Morrowind for the old Xbox, and that played ok on my pal machine and tv (that handles ntsc), so 'maybe' you'll be ok!! If you do get it, i hope it works ok for you dude.
