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

[Kwaad]

where do they advertise 100% compatability with all hardware? Can you show me that?

Your Region Free PS3 dont work on your TV... that is NOT a region problem. That is a compatability problem. It IS working.

An american PS3 has to defult output to NTSC, because if it dont, well... it wont work on most american SDTVs.

A European PS3 has to defult output to PAL... becasue if it dont... it wont work on all SDTVs in europe.

So a new NTSC PS3 wont work on a PAL TV. If I'm not mistaken I can tweak the option in the options... but you have to SEE the image... to CHANGE the option.

 

Does a PAL game work on a NTSC console?

 

Last time I checked 'region encoding' only means, that a *american game* wont work on a *european console*

region free, does NOT mean you can buy a american NTSC console, and it work properly with your PAL TV?

If it does, would you please be willing to find where that was ever said?

EDIT: oh, I see what your saying about that now, however get a EDTV... (any LCD TV) and it will work, run it at 480p)
