European Titles and compatibility with US PS3

by **007** Thu 15 Oct 2009, 02:19

Due to region coding, some European titles will not be compatible with the US Playstation 3. Due to Sony not implementing compatibility with Europe's TV frame rates, the US PS3 and Sony players in the USA will not be compatible with some European titles even if they are region free. This is the reason why unfortunately some European TV Blu-ray titles get released at the incorrect rate of 60hz (incorrect for European TV releases).

To see a list of titles and their compatibility with US PS3/US Sony players, see:
