Region 1 is for the US, Region 2 is Japan, Region 3 is Asia.

There should be no difference in gameplay so all should deliver the same experience.

One thing I noticed though is that some games have problems. I'm talking from a first hand experience.

I have a Japan PS3 and a US Silent Hill Homecoming. Everytime I enter a loading screen, a problem with the control configuration exists such as a missing command.

price, language, cover art, sometimes extra contents, downloadable contents, compatibility pag normal TV ang gamit

go with region 1 games. galing US. pwede rin region 3. pang Asia naman. region 2 pag galing Europe or Japan.

kung naka HDTV ka, kahit ano dyan pwede.
2. Ano pinakamaganda laruin?
Metal Gear Solid 4
3. May naiiba ba sa gameplay?

Since there are no "region-locks" sa PS3 games, any PS3 can process PAL to NTSC, vice versa. Sa TV na lang nagkakatalo. Multi System, at a minimum, is a must.
e.g. 1. Asian PS3 (NTSC) can load an R2 (PAL) game. The PS3 will still send PAL to the TV.
e.g. 2. UK PS3 (PAL) can load an R3 (Asian-NTSC) game. The PS3 will still send NTSC to the TV.
:whoa:
ah kaya pala may nagbebenta ng PAL PS3 sa TPC, pwede na ko magpabile sa Australia...libre pa ayus... :clap:

Hello PinoyPS forumers.

Bago lang po ako dito sa forum na ito.

I bought a 2nd hand 20 GB Japanese PS3, but now I'm planning to buy a PS3 slim and sell the classic one.

My question is, may pagkakaiba ba sa presyo ang US and Japanese version ng PS3 slim?

I know out of the question na ang pagpeplay ng PS2 games dito since the PS3 slim does not support PS2 backwards compatibility anymore, but in terms of playing Bluray disk which is I think based on Region pa rin ito di ba?

I'm planning to buy a US version po kasi, and I've heard here na sa Greenhills, 15200 ang price ng PS3 Slim, while nung tumingin ako sa Datablitz, 17200 naman ang benta nila. Di ko nga lang naitanong kung US version yun. I have experiences kasi (sa and PS2 and PSP) na it seems na mas mataas presyo ng US version kesa sa Japan or Asian Version.

Sana matulungan niyo ako sa aking mga katanungan.

Thanks po!

IMHO, kung meron man, dapat maliit lang. Ang mga kilala kong kumukuha ng JAP versions eh either marunong mag-Hapon or über fan ng FF.

Always. But most BD movies are region-free. Nakalagay naman sa case niya kung Region-protected.

The cheapest PS3 Slim na nakita ko dito sa PPS eh dito, Asian nga lang. Yes you are correct: mas mahal ng kaunti ang US version because of the simple fact that its "from the US" or "R1 kasi."[/quote]

You're most welcome po. v3.01 FW ko (model, sa sig ko. Each model number is unique to every region naman). Galing states. May kakilala akong umuwi from the US, nagpabili ako at binayaran ko na lang pagdating dito. :agree:

Model number, supported languages, default PS Store, and "pubished/printed" voltage supported.

Both are autovolt though.

I had a CECHL12 once, it works on 110v too.
