PS3 Games \ Importation of games.

Kudos: 4

Mates: 0

Is there problems with importing ps3 games from hongkong etc.

I am mostly wondering about limitations to online play and things like that.

I understand all ps3 games "should" work fine on any ps3, but anyone know a good website that deals with this topic or which games work and those that dont etc.

All games will work. There are certain limitations though, for example some of them have region locked online play so you will be stuck playing against yanks or asians from around the world and thus, will not have as good a ping.
Other than that... not alot of problems really, as long as you make sure you are getting the English versions.

Also while they will work on any ps3 console. they can have problems working with non HD TV's. So if you have a HD TV you will be fine. But some imported games can have issues with older TV's

Lol Goks, those must have been some alright tv's for their times. I had one from the 90's and it hates NTSC. Cant see anything in colour.

But my nice LCD TV is perfect with everything now... awww I love it soooo much!

Yeah a website that lists all the games that are 'online region locked' would be great, it would make things easier when buying off play-asia
