I can see how this belongs in the hot deals section.

 

[imported_tkkidd]

i thoguht us and japan uses diffrent format.

pal vs nctv....

 

[razor2025]

no, Japan use NTSC too. This could be a hot deal, cause I "think" PS3 are now region-free....

with a new twist to it. they had a new design at first but i dont think it got a nice reception. so they went back to what works. which isnt always bad.

 

[farfignugen]

[farfignugen]

I hope you're kidding. Otherwise, you just wasted a great deal of money.

Yeah the twist is that it doesn't rumble anymore and if the battery in the wireless controller dies you have to send it to sony to get the battery replaced.

well, considering it was either this or ~1800 on ebay on friday : )

And didn't want to wait cause I've got a bratty cousin's birthday coming up.

Regional Lockout on PS2/PSone Games Confirmed

November 10, 2006 - Though Sony has said that it has no intention of region locking PlayStation 3 games, it was never specifically clear whether or not region-encoded PlayStation 2 and PSone games would work on a foreign system. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Likewise, foreign films or any other content that's specified for a region different than the system you're using will not work.

So you would rather pay a few hundred more then waiting a few weeks for more stock? k

 

[HexiumVII]

yeah they take your $1k and give you 3 months of delay emails. Good luck.

 

[kindest]

please be more specific and informative in topic title and title summary.
thank you

Bratty cousin deserves PS1.

 

[BladeVenom]

Any bratty kid demanding a PS3 should get this Book of Virtues instead.

 

[Parasitic]

You know it says shipping in 1-5 days.

In 6 days PS3 goes retail.

 

[Gibson486]

people have been getting the Japanese PS3 in the US. For PS3 games and BluRay discs, it has worked fine.
