Makakalaro ka naman kahit NTSC or PAL... yung NTSC or PAL format ng TV yon.. sa Pinas NTSC sya, pero kung multi-system ang TV walang problem.

Pag magkaibang format... let's say yung PS3 mo ay PAL at ang TV ay NTSC, medyo weird ang lalabas na video or minsan blackout talaga

guys, I have a question. We're getting a classic PS3 from Dubai.

the problem is, they say it's PAL, not NTSC. and most TVs here locally are NTSC.
how do I play it because it's PAL?
and can it play Region 1, 2 and 3?

thanks guys.

NO problem yan bro as swine said... Id say a good majority of CRT TV are already multi system (check your tv' video output settings kung may PAL, NTSC, SECAM et. al) Most likely naman multi system tv mo. Ngayon kung LCD tv mo 100% sure yan.

Actually IMHO medyo overrated ang problems in playing R2 games considering that most TV units naman talaga available now are multi system.

You can play any game, any region on your PAL PS3 unit. :agree: Ang TV brodcast signal natin fixed sa NTSC, but the Video settings of your Multi system TV, sigurado may PAL yan.

The simplest way to explain what a multisystem TV, it's a TV that supports PAL and NTSC signals....

Usually to determine it is a multisystem TV, may option yung TV sa settings to switch signals of PAL and NTSC. Kung wala ka makita na ganun na option then magbase ka na lang kung gaano na katagal yung TV at reputable brand ba siya. Kung within this decade binili yung TV then malaki ang pagasa na multisystem ang TV.

Pero kung tanungin mo ako, I would recommend they just buy an HD LCD monitor kung wala sila masyado pera. Leaps and bounds ang difference ng graphics. Yung akin nga is a Hannes-G na 22 inch na monitor. Nung binili ko iyon nasa 8.5k pa ang presyo, ang alam ko bumasak pa ang presyo niya since then so pwede nasa 7k range na lang iyon.

Gagana sila pero black and white ang lalabas sa screen. Suggestion ko bumili na lang ng HDTV or HD LCD monitor, depende sa budget niya....
