Hi,
Visiting USA soon. Checked various sites seeking confirmation either way whether I can buy PS3 games that are compatible with a UK PS3 game console. Various techie sites make it unclear. Hoping for somebody on this message board that has actually tried it by making a purchase in the USA returned to the UK and the item either played or did not?
Some sites seem to say that if you have a HDMI connection on your TV then they will all work!!
Anybody out there tried this? Did they play or not?
many thanks!!
i think the PS3 is region free so will work,sure some internet sites will tell you,but i have found when ive been over there ive brought pc games they were not that cheaper to be honest....
Video games are significantly cheaper in the US than the UK. Case in point:
System / US MSRP / UK MSRP ($ equivalent)
PS3 40GB / $400 / $600
Wii / $250 / $400
Xbox 360 Arcade / $280 / $320
Xbox 360 Elite / $450 / $520
The games themselves...well, they are cheaper in the US but not always by much. Most Xbox 360 and PS3 games are $60 (30 Pounds, sorry no pound key on my keyboard!) when first released. But the consoles are usually MUCH cheaper as you can see above. Also, games are often released in the US a long time before the UK (not always but often).
