Well i have a UK playstation and was wondering if i buy a game such as Bioschock from Canada will it work on my UK Playstation? Some people have said no some have said yes so im worried!
I'm pretty sure that the PS3 games are region free and that the blu-ray movies are the ones that are region encoded (although some movies overseas can be region free).
Thats what i think but the more people who agree the more likely i will be able to buy PS3 games from Canada since there cheaper over there! I just need more proof!
The games will work fine on your PS3. However, any DLC for the game that comes out is specific to the version of game you get- you would have to buy the extras made available in the store from the North American PlayStation Stores. Whatever is made available in the UK store (if/ when it is) would not work with a North American copy of the game.
The only concern I hear is if the online play is still good -- some say it is limited because of the region difference, others say they have no problems with it.
ohhh is DLC like online additons like updates...? Ohh is that bad if i cant get updates for bioshock then how would i be able to play the game without updating the version?

wow dont you just try it and if it doesnt work sell it on ebay lol
I read forum Silent Hill. In Europe there fans Silent Hill want to buy SH: Homecoming PAL software European version X360 and PS3 but delay OCT to NOV. There can't wait to patient on Nov. so buy SHH is out today in North America. There are wonder about software locked region on X360. PS3 game is free region on PS3 system. I thank you to everyone SONY companys!
I remember them saying Home would be region locked according to where your console was sold (ie US) and not account, which could be a pain later on. But at least you'd still be hearing English.

You'll be fine with updates done directly in-game but any add-ons that you would purchase through the PlayStation Store is another story altogether. Those are set up specifically to the regions- North American games would need the updates found in the US or Canadian PlayStation Stores.
ohhh wow thats great thanks im reassured now!!! i was worried because a lot of people in canada workin in places like EB games and sony style said it wouldnt work! wow now i can get bioshock!!! thanks!! last qestion it doesnt matter if theres a number 2 on the back of the disc does it??
