   PS3/Blu-ray regions
  I'm looking to buy a PS3, using the excuse I need a blu-ray player. I'm in the UK and cheapest I found so far are here at £256.99 for the 80Gb version... it's also the only site I've found selling white/silver versions.Anyhow I noticed this (ignoring dodgy grammar):Quote:This is free region for play the game on your PlayStation 3, so this console can be able to play any game that you purchase from your local stores as well as from our site. And it can be fully operated in English, France, German, Holland and Spain....This PS3 is region free for all PS3 games. The console is region 3 and will play Blu-Ray movies for region 3. Please refer to Sony website if you need more information about regions.According to wikipedia, blu-ray has 3 regions A/B/C unlike DVDs havingregions 1-6, so I've no idea what region these PS3s are... perhaps an import?Does it matter like with older consoles where you had to buy PAL/NTSC versions of the game?   
  Here is a handy map so you can see the 3 regions...http://www.molen.ca/kenneth/images/blu-ray_RegionMap_large.pngAlso remember that generally PS3 games are region free.
