PS3 is region-free, but there's a hi-def catch

thats true bdbdbd, But most PAL TV now should be able to accept a NTSC signal and just fill the rest with black lines top and bottom. However I guess there still bealot of peopel who dont own a relatively modern PAL TV which this issue would arise for.

 

Just as i said, it's not about the TV, it's about the PS3. It wouldn't play the PAL games even in a NTSC TV. And this means that NTSC PS3 doesn't support PAL sources-> can't output PAL signal. You see, games work at HD, when the source is HD instead of PAL.

It's rather wierd that State-of-Art-video game console can't output Pal60.

 I'll have to check my settings, becuase i thought it could output in both formats... but I'm motorstormin' it, so it's hard to check... :p
