Forums - Sony - Will US games play on the Silver PS3?

My gf wants a PS3 of her own and is very fond of the silver one but I have heard rumors that they will not play games with region code 1 (United States), is this true and what about the white one?

I have a white one. Your white/silver PS3 should play any PS3 game.




can you give us any source to the rumors?
i dont think there's a Region-restriction, that would make zero sense, because all the others can.

PS3 games are usually not region locked, but PS1 games are and some Blu-Rays. You should keep that in mind.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

The guy at gamestop told me that when I went asking if they had any.

as far as i can see from your profile, you're living in the US.  It would make NO Sense, if the Console cant play the Games from the Country its build for.

 

so dont take him serious, he may just used that as an excuse because they had no Silver PS3's.

ps3 is region free (any ps3 even the silver one my friend) lol



Games are not region locked, but some blurays are. Almost all DVDs are region coded.
