You cant really tell on the outside ... but if you check the spine of the case you can see CUSA followed by a code ... assuming that it is a batch number from the US

It can play MKV files of any size (supports FAT32 & NTFS). Don't think it's region free...

If it plays PAL, does that mean that the region coding can be overridden? That I can finally buy DVDs from overseas without a hitch? Let me know. Thanks.

Thanks for that.Questions:1 Are there any known bugs resulting from switching to "region-free"?2 Can it be flipped back to NTSC?

Sorry for the late response. Yes this product is region free and works great

As far as I know they are all region free out of the box. I read it somewhere down the line that they can play all regions from the get go.

I believe that PAL and NTSC are not compatible and would require a converter.

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

I purchased this unit for my Grand son (lives in another state), so I no longer have the instruction booklet. However, when I purchased this unit, it was advertised a a "Multi-Region - PAL/NTSC Format Player" - so it "should" play Region 2 disc's (I believe all of Europe uses the PAL format). I have never played any other format other than the US Region, so I do NOT have first hand knowledge.

The camera I have is NTSC only. A PAL model may be available but I am not aware of it.

According to an article on Kotaku published in 2012, "the PS3 is usually entirely region-free [for games]...any publisher to region-block a PS3 game is a strange decision;" (http://kotaku.com/5923821/meet-the-first-ever-region-locked-ps3-game). Also, the Wikipedia page for region locked PS3 games only lists two games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Region-locked_PlayStation_3_games. There IS a catch, though: it's possible you might have NTSC/PAL TV incompatibilities (see http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/07/ps3-is-region-free-but-theres-a-hi-def-catch/). The solution is to use an HDMI cable and play in at least 720p.

Nintendo games are region locked, so I'd lean toward "not compatible." I'm not sure exactly where you look for definitive proof though.

This mostly means there is region restriction, though NTSC/PAL does not deal with the region.But usually, USA uses the NTSC picture format and Asian countries use PAL picture format. If you try the CD/DVD/picture CD from outside USA that is not NTSC format, it will either show you black and white picture or the audio will be gone. From my experience, Sony does not bring out multi-region devices as they support most of the blood sucking money thirsty enterprises who want to make sure you get the product for a specific usage while they charge you for the so called 'quality' and provide just the standard features.

It should work. I haven't tried it, so I cna't confirm 100%. Yes, the PS3 isn't region encoded, so it should work. PAL and NTSC have no bearing on the PS3. From what I remember, HDTVs are HDTVs, no matter where you buy them. PAL and NTSC referred to analog TVs and such. Not HDTV. So, in short, it should work.

Yes. The PS3 is "region free", however if you plan on buying any downloads for those games, you would have to buy them from the Japanese Playstation Store.
