Hi again. My uncle comes from America and 'apparently' the PS3's there are cheaper. He is coming to stay and might buy me a PS3. I was just wondering if I can play PES7 and fifa 08 (from england) on the american PS3.

Thanks

:ewan:

You should be able to play any games from any region on your PS3. PS3's are region free. But... Sometimes the game makers put region codes in their games which I hope it won't be the case with the pro evo series. We have to wait and see I guess...

Yeah I just remembered that I read that also. Basically we'll need to have a HD tv to play European games with our consoles. Because of the format difference;)

is HDTV a requirement to play PS3? I think not, you don't need a HDTV to play it!
@NiTrOsNiKeR1: remember PS3 in the US uses NTSC signal to NTSC TV, while in Europe it's PAL instead of NTSC. It might not work for you and you'll need a new TV that can handle NTSC and/or PAL signal, that's not to say if the US PS3 might not play games from anywhere else other than games for the US.

I didn't say you need a HD tv to play PS3 now did I? If you wanna play games from different regions on your American PS3 then you will need a HD tv since HD tv's support PAL/NTSC signals;)

Buy a PC...

Just by a PC or New Mac and your problem is solved.
A new PES game usually runs for $20.00...
And the hardware to play the game is fairly cheap.. I'm running WE10 on a MacBook with Intel945. And you can play online fairly easily and download patches etc..
