Forums - Sony - question on ps3 game regions: will an r4 game work on a r1 ps3 and ntsc tv?

here's the deal, a friend of mine wants to borrow my gh3 and i'm more than willing to lend it to him. the thing is, he has an ntsc ps3 (probably japan or us veriosn) and an ntsc tv (i believe its not hd), but my gh3 is r4 (asutralia) which is pal.  Now, the question is would the game display ok on his ntsc tv even if the game is pal? or would the display be in black and white or somthing like that? thanks

Unless the game designer specifically implemented region coding on the game (which I have yet to see), it should work fine. I have never heard about compatibility problems with TV's.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

It will work.
Lend away!

thats what i know, just gathering addtional info to put him at peace. he's a good distance away and it would be a hastle to lug the guitar controler just to findout that it wont work. thanks.

@ Spankey

...just to clarify this only works for PS3 games (and maybe PS1 games i'm not 100% sure) PS2 games are still region locked
