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....

Are there PAL to NTSC adapters for the PS3? I had one for the PSone a decade ago, and I'm wondering if there's also one for the PS3. I'm quite unsure kasi if yung TV naman capable of displaying in PAL. Sanyo siya and within 5 years siya binili eh. Multi system kaya?

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.

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.
PSone "fat" SCPH-7501 US
PS2 "fat" SCPH-39001 US
PS3-CECHA00 60gb Japan
PSP-2001 black cfw 5.50 Gen D3
PSP-N1001 black ofw 6.31

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?
wala naman. nag iba lang yung confirm button. yung X naging circle and vice versa.
