Hi , I was just wondering if anyone can tell me why when I go to race online in Motorstorm or F1 (they only games I got so far) it only gives you the option to race in Australia or Europe (International) rooms, I assumed its because AU & EU have PAL consoles while Japan & USA have NTSC but with the games being region free shouldnt that not be a issue ?

Im not exactly to sure as i dont own this game, but i think its just an option for if "YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY AGAINST PEOPLE FROM U.S etc" not sure...

were you looking to play in AU ??? or did you want to play against U.S or JAP but have no option to?? is that what you mean.... ?????

I just thought there must be alot more races going on in the US or Japan compared to the AU server but it doesnt give you an option to play on any USA or Japan server only on AU or the Eu (Europe International room). It as far as I know gives you no option to play against people in the USA or Japan.

damn. but yeh i see what you mean. it would be good to have the option to play U.S and JAP, atleast that way you would ALWAYS have somebody to play... coz those Japanese and chinese are gaming freaks lol

Yeah I have MS and that is the case. There arent that many ppl that play it online though.
Go buy Resistance or Warhawk if you want an awesome online game with tons of players.

Well I havent had too many problems finding a race in the AU or EU server , was just wondering why there was no USA or Japan, oh well , still having lots of fun. Im not very good at those army/shoot em up style games , I just end up being killed all the time & find it frustrating, maybe with some practice id get better but im impatient. My brain cant handle all the differnt buttons needed to play them games, im better suited to push x to go & square to stop LOL.

I got the new ps3 pack with Motorstorm & Resistance but talked Harvey Norman saleman into letting me exchange Resistance for F1, im more likely to play F1 more but maybe i should of got Resistance just to see how i go but past experience on PS2 etc tells me I suck at these games big time.

there are some games (resistance ,warhark) that have world wide severs but the most games are divided by region as the various arms of sony computer entertainment do every thing differently and take care of there own servers and infrastructure.
But I think if you have a US PSN account you can log onto there servers but I’m not sure if that works or if the disk has a region coded into it.
