But you do need a TV capable of displaying PAL resolutions.

Not sure what you're referring to...who said they had a PAL PS3?

My comment was directed at both you and WeirdAl, yours was just the most recent.

said by Stu Pidaso :

I kind of figured someone who knew nothing about the PS3 would make a comment like that.

said by Koil :

Sorry you roos again:

Perfect, I can't wait to import this to play on my PAL PS3!

This is only true for SD output, you can play PAL games on NTSC PS3 in HD just fine.

Game compatibility
PS3 games (on Blu-ray discs) are not region locked, but they are released and labelled with numerical regions codes (which seems to match DVD region codes). Any PS3 game from any region will play in any PS3. However, there is the special situation when you try to play back the game in Standard Definition. If the PS3 game only has Standard Definition and Enhanced Definition for either PAL (576i and 576p) or NTSC (480i and 480p), your PS3 must have the same Standard Definition and Enhanced Definition format support, or you won't be able to play it. This is not a problem if you play the game in High Definition (720p, 1080i, 1080p), but there exists the possibility to region lock (based on Blu-ray game region) games if the publisher decides to do so. All PS3 games have a serial number containing a four character prefix, followed by a five digit suffix. The following are the common prefix for PS3 games:

:edit: Not sure what NTCS is, so changed NTCS to NTSC...

I thought the PS3 wasn't region coded.

If you plan on playing online don't forget to save $50 for XBL Gold and $100 for a the wi-fi add-on. Unless you're happy with a ethernet cord running across your floor. Oh and that $50 only covers ONE profile. If everyone wants to have their own account you need to spend $50 PER PERSON.

It is a victory for Xbox 360 as described in my first post. As for the red lights, and possible noise from the DVD drive ... eventually one day we all hope Microsoft will resolve it once and for all.

Though I won't have direct experience with the Xbox 360 until Christmas when we open ours. I'm ordering a bunch of Xbox 360 stuff and hope the console works well once it is plugged in.

If you can hear your Xbox then you need to turn the volume up! I like my gunshots to sound like actual gunshots!
HOORAH

I didn't say it wasn't difficult, but that isn't necessarily Sony's problem...
