PS3 Qatar/UK
Hi all,
I am new here but was looking for some advice. I have decided that I am going to buy the PS3 but I am going to return to the UK in the near future and I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether it would work with UK games/tvs/power supply etc? Also, I'm thinking of buying it at Virgin in Villagio... Any other good places to buy?
Any help greatly appreciated.

thanks for the help... So ...thanks for the help... So does that mean that the qatar consoles are NTSC (like the american consoles) but they work on the 220v?
Thanks for the help...
marXus said
yep american models are ...yep american models are NTSC but 110v
and the ones you buy here are NTSC and 110v
or you can buy the asian version. You'll notice the difference from how they are packed.
US versions have free games and the package is black, while asian version are somewhat ash and no free games,just the console and are 220v.
About the NTSC or PAL. You really dont have to worry about it because newer TV systems Support both PAL and NTSC systems.
If you have an HDTV in uk, then you got no problems at all.
*unless you got those really-really old school TVs.

Thanks marXus you've been ...Thanks marXus you've been very helpful. But I thought that the Qatar voltage is 220v (like the UK)?
marXus said
yes ...Yes Qatar has 220v. But dont worry, I suggest you buy a separate Power Supply for your PS3 which would likely be 110v if you're taking the US version PS3. Power Supplies are like boxes, like the ones you see under computers.
Computers need a separate Power Supply. They both got 220v and 110v. Make sure its 110v if you're going to plug it in 110v, DONT plug the US version ps3 in 220v, or else you'll get a brand new 500$ Paper Weight.
ed.wingerz said
ok thanks for the advice. ...ok thanks for the advice. You don't happen to know which version (US or Asia) they sell at Virgin? And is the Asia model 60gb with 220v and PAL?
Sorry to trouble you again...
marXus said
They only sell US version ...They only sell US version NTSC 110v ps3 models 40gb and 60gb in Virgin.
Im not sure if they have the 40gb models there. Better buy the 60gb.
As i said Dont worry about the NTSC and PAL versions.
ed.wingerz said
ok many thanks! ...ok many thanks!

Contrary to what Qatari ...Contrary to what Qatari advises, the PS3 is region FREE.
Meaning that any region game will work with the ps3.
Having said that, i think there are DVD movie restrictions.
The PS3's voltage doesn't matter either because they have built in regulators.
I myself have a white Japanese PS3 (bought in Qatar) and it works perfectly find with everything.
Just make sure you buy an HD cable if you have an HD tv since PS3's don't come with that.
The Middle East's standard system is PAL.
However you can get NTSC-J NTSC-UC and PAL all over in stores.
I recommend the NTSC-UC (US, for movies because they come out later).
At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what you get.
