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.

Would you able to play a ps3 from south Africa in Canada?

The whole world has PS3 so you should be able to no matter where you go.Yes, but you cannot play Canadian games on a South African PS3 or play South African games on a Canadian PS3 because of the difference between PAL (used in South Africa) and NTSC (used in Canada). However as televisions are PAL/NTSC neutral, it should not prove a problem to connect a PS3 from one country to a television in the other.


Can you play a New Zealand PS3 console with Australian PS3 games?

yes any ps2 game will play on any ps2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- an American ps2 game will NOT work on an Australian ps2, as the Australian ps2 will read that it is from a different region and not allow it to run. as well as this, the picture will not be 100% as US games use NTSC format, while Australian games use PAL. you can get a modification chip though...

Can you play US PS2 games on a UK PS2?

Sony has a strict policy of regional lockouts. NTSC/UC games can only be played on a NTSC/UC machine. NTSC/J games can only be played on a NTSC/J machine. PAL games can only be played on a PAL machine. If you are serious about wanting to play games that are out of the U.S., mod chip or swap disc is the only solution or you can try tracking down a foreign PS2.


Will European Rock Band PS3 game work in the US?

Some games are region free, and that means that they can be used on all kinds of PS3 (NTSC-J, NTSC-U, PAL), but some games are locked and can only be used on a console from same area. I don't know if Rock Band is region free.
