geting my ps3 VERY soon. but, theres a prob.
« on: March 24, 2008, 05:11:02 PM »
okay, FINALLY after waiting for an opportunity for a colored ps3.  i decided forget it, and purchase one here.  but then my friend tells me that his mom is going to HK for spring break (he is staying in US) and i asked him if he can import a silver or white ps3 for me.  now, its great for the fact that its cheaper there (330 USD and HK has NO TAX)  but the only prioblem the region coded stuff.  i noe i can play games and BD on the HK ps3, but i really want the upconvertor for the DVDs which i cannot use.  is there a way to make it region free? i needa decide by tonight as she is leaving tomorrow night, and i needa deposit movey to her.

sooo.. best bet is to import one, and wait, and if they dont, SELL IT for 500 bucks, hahha. 

btw, how is the upconvertor, any differences? (i have very something eyes liek i can spot every difference, a micro scratch on a car or psp) .

If you import it you will be locked into the Hong Kong Servers, meaning if a game is played online you will most likely not hear any English voices.

All game servers are determined by Game Region, not Console Region.

Lol that would suck, but i think MattZani's correct.

because PAL copies had a new patch of the game that allowed them to use the worldwide servers.  I downloaded the patch a few days ago and now im able to play worldwide as well.
