my friends dad is in taiwan/japan this month and will pick me up a ps3 if i ask him to. but im wondering if the US games will work with a Asian Ps3....?
Just like the 360 games it will be determined by the game developer. If they choose to have it region free or not.
no, as with the xbox games that came out in ... INDIA or some shit like that, my friend bot a couple games from india thinking they wood wrk ofcourse being exceptionally cheap, but theyre a complete diff. format
but maybe, who knows.
but maybe, who knows.
google it
NO... DONT DO IT
they will not work, BUY THE PS3 HERE, NOT TAIWAN
not to mention, the taiwanese one is probably bootlegged anyways... damn crafty thai

It all reality you can if your running your PS3 in HD mode(720p/180i/1080p). HD mode is a universal mode across all regions. Your need the region lock now with HD if it does have it, is for the language. If the developer wants only that region to have the game. Now if you are going to running standard mode(480i.480p) then its about what kind of signal your tv can decode.

i dont think so, should be region coded like dvds are
Ok so IGN says Yes, but then it says no...
I was under the impression Blu-ray and HD-DVD would be the begining of the end for regional coding. I think you can, but.......... I am not sure you should risk it, doesnt ps3 release in The usa on friday anyway? :S May be expensive, but atleast if it goes wrong you can take it back, wont have that option with your taiwan machine.
This doesn't matter, they've all sold out anyway!
ALL PS3 GAMES ARE REGION FREE.
If you want to play PS2/PS1 games and DVDs / Blu-Ray Discs they WONT WORK.
unless you get them from taiwan...
