Yes, a Region 3 PlayStation 3 game will work on a Region 1 PlayStation 3 system. The PlayStation 3 does not have regional lockouts for PlayStation 3 games. It does however have regional lockout for PlayStation games, PlayStation 2 games, DVD movies, and Blu-ray movies.

Can us PS3 games work on a UK PS3 console?

Im sorry to tell you that the U.S PS3 games will not work on UK PS3 console, and the reason for that is -The PS3 games are made with regions. The US PS3 games are made for region 1 and UK PS3 games are region 2... Therefore the region 1 ps3 console will only play region 1 ps3 games, just like region 2 ps3 console will only play region 2 ps3 games. Hope that makes any sense. If you have more questions just message me. The reason is not region coding, but it is the USA TV design system is different from the others and games made to work for the USA system do not all have the ability to be changed and be played on the UK and Europe TVs. The affect is the same as if they were region coded except that region coding fixes also will not work because it is the TVs that can not play the games and not the PS3

Will a PS3 game from a America work on a PS3 console in the UK?

It MIGHT, or might not. PS3 games are not region-encoded so US games do work on UK consoles. For the sake of your PS3 thought, try and find a save file which has the description of "PAL" or "EU" - just in case your PS3 dies or something.

Can you play pal PS3 games on an us PS3 console?

MOST PS3 games are region-free, meaning that you can import/export games from any region and they should work. There have been the odd issues though, such as The Simpsons Game - I don't think the American version of that works on the European PS3s. Blu-Ray movies, however, ARE region-encoded - so you must get Blu-Ray movies from whichever of the three regions your console is from.
