Hey
I heard that all ps3 games will be region free. Does this mean that I will be able to play games on my UK ps3 if I import them from America? Also will blu-ray movies be region-free?
Cheers

Not sure about the movies, but yes imported games will work on a UK PS3.

PS. Welcome to the forums, make yourself an introduction thread so people get to know you better. Stick around, this is a great place.

play-asia.com will ship worldwide inc. UK from 23rd march.

Blu-Ray movies ARE region encoded, and the US and Jap movies will NOT work on a UK PS3.

Is there that thing on the PS3 where you can only play games on your PS3 and no other PS3's?

Welcome to the forums! If you put $700 in my PayPal I will send you a brand new one. And yes all PS3's will play any games from any country. Its the movies that arent region free.

Thats a really good deal, if I hadnt already paid a deposit on a UK PS3 I would have bought one from you Lethal, saving myself £75 roughly :/

That is a really good deal. **** me for being impatient and putting a deposit on one.

Well my offer is still available if you guys choose to sell your deposits. The only thing is my tracking numbers would only tell me when it left the country. There wouldnt be a way to track it once it gets to the UK. This is why I dont sell to other countries on Ebay. I would only do it here if you guys really wanted one quickly.

Now if anybody wants to do this just remember that once its tracked leaving the US my a$$ is covered. PERIOD!
