guys a question on PS3 game regions.

if a game, say LBP, is Region3, does it mean i only can play on Asian servers?

Okay,i know i might get flamed for this question but after reading the first page and also googling it,im still not too sure about lag when playing online in relation to the games region.

From what i understand,region 1 is USA, R2 is Europe and R3 is Asia.
Region type doesn't matter when it comes to running a game in single player mode as it runs on all PS3's.

But what about the issue of playing online...?
Say I want to buy the new NBA2k10 and based on previous experience with the 2k9 version,which is R2,i encountered lag issues.Would buying the game of another region help?

I know lag and stuff is because of our ISP but will buying a game of a different region aid in the lag issues?
If so,which region is recommended? Asian?

Thanks.

don't worry, i was confused also. until i kena from one of the members, haha.

the only difference the region makes is the download content.

for example, if PSN Store USA has some downloadable content for NBA2K, you will only be able to get it
IF the NBA2K you bought is R1.


for playing online, no matter which region your game is, you will still be able to connect to the country of choice.

for example, if you have LBP R3, you can choose to play on US servers or Europe servers, or even Asian servers.


correct me if i'm wrong. blink.gif

hey guys, i just got myself a ps3 slim, sg set.

need your help here.
In the first page of this thread, it is mentioned that you're able to create different PSN accounts.

What does this actually mean, and how do i go about doing this.

Does it mean that for different regions, I can create multiple accounts?
Is there a limit?

cheers.

create different accounts so that u can download demos etc as not all demo/games are available to the same region.

just put your country as USA or etc...
you might have to supply zip code, just google it.

thanks.

A few more questions:

1. Is there a maximum no. of accounts you can create?

2. So, say if I create a USA PSN account, can I use that account to log into any Playstation Store?

3. How does different accounts affect online gaming when logging in?

cheers.
