My friend want to buy PS 3, he now at Pakistan oversea, nothing to do, so he wanna get a console to kill some time. the PS 3 he's been offered at Pakistan is a NTSC unit (he told me so, I really have no idea about this NTSC PAL stuff).

His question is :

1. Is the NTSC PS3 console can play with Malaysia PAL tv set? HDMI cable can solve the problem?
2. The NTSC PS3 console can play asian region games (PAL)?
3. What is this NTSC and PAL do? can sifu 's teach teach me? as long as I know they tell me it's two different version of DVD/CD for console, (I remember the time I got two version of CD for Resident Evil 1 and Bio Hazard 1)

Please help me and give some advise, millions thanks

Thank You for swift reply!!!
meaning that PS 3 console doesn't have any NTSC or PAL difference right? Just plug it to TV and play?
If my friend didn't use HDTV, use normal TV, anything he need to take note?

Thanks again for the swift reply, *bro fist*

Yes, if your friend use SDTV I think he may need a converter because he will use the normal composite cable.

Or if the SDTV has PAL/NTSC settings it should be OK, because normally can switch between those two formats.

Better use HDTV and HDMI, then you don't have to worry about it.

Million thanks Bro!!! will post again if got any question~
