PS3 Questions

[niky]

May region din ang Blu ray pero 3 lang unlike sa DVD 6 ata yun. In general Region A tayo which also includes Japan and North America so swerte tayo. Maybe ibang Region like yugn European/Australian region.

Now if you;re talking about games, walang region locking ang PS3. That is one of its advantage against the Xbox 360.

There's region-locking for XBox games?


























You mean they sell games somewhere else besides the US?

[tidus1203]

Yeah. In Europe and Australia its PAL tapos sa US iba din, tapos yung Japan and Asia has the same region... Actually the Xbox 360 sells better than the PS3 in all regions except Japan where its a flop. Pero the US is the biggest market for videogames so MS is still #1 over Sony in this genertaion of consoles.

I bought PS3 for my son in Dubai and it is region B.. What this means? europe version? what it cant do when used in Philippines?

Tried to set it up and gumana sya but with the games that comes with the package pa lang na try ko. On DVD I think its region 2...

It means the Blu Ray disc player is locked to Region B (green on the map above) ... it cannot play Blu Ray discs encoded for Regions A and C. So if you're going to buy Blu Ray discs for that particular PS3, make sure they're Region B, or region-free (which most of them are).

Eyy thanks man now I understand.. But still a lot to learn on this PS3 like online gaming and net browsing.

can this actually function as a PC CPU? meaning if I attach a keyboards to it I can browse the internet same as my laptop?

or I am asking to much on a PS3 capability ?

PC naman siya talaga.

Besides the XMB operating system, you can also install Linux.

I've tried a few wireless keyboards and they worked. Same thing with webcams, pen drives and external HDD's (as long as it's FAT32).

I borrowed Blueray CD from a friend and I was able to play it in my PS3.

Can I copy this movie on my PS3 HDD?

If yes how to do it?

I wanted to get one because of (and exclusively for) the Gran Turismo but dang! there are only a handful of tracks - 4 or 5 lang ata and that includes the much predictable Suzuka Circuit

I miss Gran Turismo.

I'm leaning towards the Jasper on the 360 so that I can get that Forza 3 from playasia.com.
