yup

We can play what ever region on our console...lolz

For SDTV (CRT)
===========
R2 games - PAL (Display Resolution: 576 lines interlaced top to bottom [576i])
R1/R3 games - NTSC (Display Resolution: 480 lines interlaced top to bottom [480i])

For HDTV (LCD/Plasma/OLED/DLP projector)
=============================
R1/R2/R3/R4 games - ATSC @ HD (Display Resolution: 720/1080 pixels progressive top to bottom [720p/1080p])

Scenario 1: USA/Asia PS3(NTSC System) + CRT TV + R2 disc(PAL System) = 80028f10 error

Scenario 2: USA/Asia PS3(NTSC System) + CRT TV + R1/R3 disc(NTSC System) = OK.

Scenario 3: European PS3(PAL System) + CRT TV + R1/R3 disc(NTSC System) = 80028f10 error

Scenario 4: USA/Asia/European PS3(PAL/NTSC System) + LCD TV @ HD720p/1080p(NTSC/PAL is NOT RELEVANT ANYMORE) + R2 disc(PAL System) = OK.

Reason is because the NTSC/PAL difference thingy only applies to SDTV. When you play on a HDTV, all this issues doesn't matter anymore.

For GTAIV, it's kind of hard to get R1/R3 version here in Malaysia. Unless you're ready to spend a bomb to buy the LE of GTAIV (R1).

Nice explanation, geekster129!

Wow thanks a lot buddy! that really hit the spot!

Hi,

I'm planning to get a PS3, problem is, I might be getting a 24 inch LCD monitor to play, and audio will be using a pair of headphone. I know the HDMI won't be an issue, but any suggestion on the audio? Because I know the PS3 doesn't have a simple 3.5mm jack. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone from subang know to get a Y Splitter?

Fortunately, the recent PS3 firmware upgrade allows multi-channel audio output.

This means, the audio will not be combined together with the HDMI signal but you can actually use the audio output from the A/V output as an alternative
audio output source. That being said, you can configure your PS3 in such a way that the visuals will come from the HDMI output, and the audio will come out from the red/white RCA jacks. Couple it with a RCA-3.5mm jack and a female-female 3.5mm converter, you should be able to output the audio to a stereo headphone.

See pics. for info.

Wow thanks. Guess I'll have to buy quite some accesories. Maybe a Small LCD TV is not a bad idea after all, since I might be able to just plug the headphone into the 3.5mm plug.

hihi, got 1 question ya....for PSN ID, i know the game that i purchased can be shared among 5 ppls right?

so wat goes to my GAME's patches......can it be shared among 5 ppls also..

some of my fren say certain game's patches cant be share....is it true?? can give me some advise?

thanks

if the patches are in DLC form (expansion pack), of course it will need another license if bought using another account (not the gameshare account).

lol friends.

means if same acc, v can share the DL that bought from PSN right?
cause the contents is in DLC form

thanks for answering my doubt

normally, patches refer to the game update (bugfixes, etc) and DLCs are in different category.

using those terms, patches are free and they doesnt involve DRM at all. start the game and it will auto update. on the other hand, paid DLCs are treated as other paid contents.

Anyone got problem signing to PSN today?
