I wonder to hear that the US PS3 does not playing PAL. The european PS3 plays NTSC fine, the only problems are the region coded DVDs, but for that I just do an 1:1 otr a downshrink to DVD5 for my private usage from my own DVDs without region coding...

Have you ever tried some Region codefree PAL disc, if its just the region coding prob?

 

I have not,but that is a good idea,I will have to try that.

I think I've tried that (and with THE ISLAND, being that it is region-0) and nope, no play due to PAL video.  I will have to look into the European and Asian PS3 thing though.  I have one of the earlier 60gb machines (and replaced the hard drive with a Seagate 250gb) and other than the PAL and region code issue it works fantastic.  I guess if I can find one cheap enough (@ $250) maybe it would be worth getting.

So Mr. Brown (just to confirm), you are saying that the European PS3s will play both NTSC and PAL dvds (provided of course that there is no region coding)?  DVD Decrypter will strip the region coding, so if what you are saying is true, then I can start watching my PAL dvds in 1080i via HDMI!

BTW, Mr. Brown, where would be the least expensive place to go on the internet to purchase a European (or Asian) PS3?  I can do a hunt on my own, but if you already have some good ideas as to where to start that would be great!
