Region in ps3 games

Or can I buy a chip for my Ps2 and play my favorite game??? Please answer back I need information! So how can I check to make sure which region is a PS3 just by looking at it?? Thanks alooootttttttt. The answer is, unfortunately, not exactly clear cut and "may" vary by game. The short answer is that most PS3 games are not region coded and can be played on any PS3 console, although PSN features and DLC will not funtion in most cases because those will vary by region.

See this thread for more. My advice to you is that if they are planning to release this game in his country down the road, I'd hold off until then; particularly if there's an online component. Won't get into the wither-tos and why-fors as no-one running into this problem really cares about the reasons for the restrictions.

Suffice it to say you can mod your PS3, and run the risk of losing PSN access if their system detects the mod, or you can limit yourself to only games distributed for the same region as your PS3 came from.

There is always a chance that, in the process of modding the PS3, something gets broken or the chip is defective and the PS3 gets damaged, but the practice seems wide spread so the risk would appear minimal.

Just something to be aware of if you go this route. Your PS3 will no longer be covered by warranty if you mod it so any such work is going to mean you can no longer get Sony to fix or replace it if something goes wrong. Media Smart Home.
