ALTHOUGH GREAT CARE AND EFFORT HAS GONE INTO THE LIST. NEITHER AVFORUMS OR MYSELF WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS.

IF YOU DO NOTICE SOME ERRORS PLEASE PM ME/POST IN THE THREAD AND I WILL AMMEND IT

i would like to start a compatibility list for UK games on a US console. Hopefully we can all add to this list and make it pretty comprehensive. This is only for sd resolutions of 480i/p. the idea is to save me (and other people of course) time/money.

Promos are identical to retail copies. The only reason I have put "promo" is to let everyone know the full story. For the same reason i put (AU) from my copy of Burnout Paradise, because I can only verify what I try, and other people can only verify what they try. Chances are extremely high that if an AU copy works, an EU copy will, and the same thing goes for promo's. They just aren't guaranteed to be the same.

also, please correct me if something is wrong!anonymous666 has a great thread on this over at the US playstation forum.

anonymous666 has a great thread on this over at the US playstation forum.

6/6/2008 - R:FOM exploit compatibility updated. if it says it has been tested (either by me or a kind member in this thread) it will say if it works or not. if there is no comment, then it has not been tested.

5/7/2008 - R:FOM exploit does work with firmware 2.40

[lmaolmao]

i take it most people with a US console have a hdtv too?

[mriegler]

I have a US PS3, the following PAL based games purchased in Australia work in 480i/p:

FIFA 08
Harry Potter 5

reiterating: Heavenly Sword does not work... unfortunately that's how I stumbled across this thread .

[lmaolmao]

thanks for those two!

i started to think that people might only stumble upon it from having the same problem.

haven't heard about Sega Rally yet

[Rhydem]

So... Does PAL FIfa 2008 work on these Non-PAL PS3's?

[lmaolmao]

yes if you have a hdtv. no if you don't. assuming that the uk pal version is the same as the australian pal version.

[mriegler]

Sorry for being unclear.

FIFA08 and Harry Potter 5 (PAL Versions) WILL WORK on a US PS3 (NTSC) in SD mode at 480i/p.

Heavenly Sword will come up with an error message, when you try to play the PAL version on an NTSC system in 480i/p (however, to my understanding, it WILL WORK as well on an HD system). It's just the 576i/p vs. 480i/p that is the issue, once you play something at 720p, it seems not to matter, where the game originated, as the resolution is the same.

In other words, I have no problems playing PAL FIFA08 on my US PS3 in SDl, please change the list accordingly lmaolmao. Will let you know about NHL 08 in a coupla minutes .

[mriegler]

NHL 08 PAL does NOT work on a US PS3 in 480i/p.

[Rhydem]

Yeah Fifa 08 (PAL) is working on my JAP PS3
Standard Def

[anonymous666]

I have started a similar thread here. Feel free to cross check with my list

The PAL versions of the games Sega Rally, Skate and Transformers The Game work on NTSC console + SDTV

PAL version of Bladetorm does not work on NTSC console + SDTV

[lmaolmao]

excellent, thanks for the info. updated original post.

[Rhydem]

PES 2008 works on it

[lmaolmao]

assassins creed added as working. sega rally has double confirmation (thanks thare)

hopefully its signs of the games starting to not have this problem. *crosses fingers*

[mriegler]

Call of Duty 4 - working fine
Guitar Hero III - working fine
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - working fine
Lego Star Wars Complete Saga - working fine

[lmaolmao]

thanks very much for that! four games added is great! even better, is this problem is becoming less and less frequent

-added superstardust and loco roco (PSN titles)

Ratchet & Clank works fine

[lmaolmao]

thanks for that.

added dynasty warriors: gundam - not working

[damasta13]

Can someone confirm some info about this thread:
Is this for a UK standard def. TV? and
If my UK standard def. TV has NTSC playback capability is it still affected by this error?
Thanks a lot.
PS If these questions are answered I will most likely be able to help expand your lists as time goes on!

[mriegler]

This thread is about NTSC PS3 systems (eg. Japan, US) and PAL software (eg. Europe, Australia) and if they work with a particular game release in standard definition (SD). And yes, even if your UK TV has NTSC capabilities, it will affect you, it is a disc / console issue.

Any games will work in an HD modes (as the PAL and NTSC resolutions match, only the frame rate differs). However, the SD modes of games seem to be encoded on disc in either PAL (576i/p), NTSC (480i/p) or as a multi-format disc, essentially supporting both.

While any game bought anywhere in the world will work on any console in HD, the question we are trying to answer here is: "Will a particular PAL release of a game work on an NTSC PS3 in SD mode?"

Note that this does NOT necessarily have to match the question "Will a game I purchased in the US run on my European / Australian PS3".

As soon as you move up to an HDTV, you will not have to bother about this thread anymore.

I further would assume that if you have an NTSC PS3, you will also need a display that has NTSC playback capabilities... I always make sure mine are (large DVD and LD collection), but maybe there are other threads going into more detail on this.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions. Of course we are always looking forward to more contributions .

[damasta13]

Ok, thanks very much. Am looking into buying an HDTV now, and have the simpsons unopened at the moment, so when i get my new tv i will be able to confirm for you all if it works on my current SDTV

[damasta13]

Does anyone have any information on whether the simpsons works?
A quick reply would be grateful.
Thx

the demo is affected by this. so not sure if the full game is, but it doesn't sound hopeful.

[Kregory]

will this issue ever be resolved in a patch or such? Furthermore..as I understand it, us games will always work on us consoles no matter the tv? If I was to order from the us?

NFS pro street works fine!

Hi all
I'm new on here but I have had the error 80028F10 message come up when iIhave been trying to play The Simpsons. I have a NTSC ps3 from Hong Kong and it's hooked up to a 4 year old Panasonic Viere which is not HD. However, I had the chance to hook it up to a Sony HD projector and got 1080p no problem. The Simpsons worked. So I hope not all games are going to be like the Simpsons one and/or that Sony get it together and realise that not every one has a HDTV.

Why are you blaming Sony ? You have an import console which you're trying to sue with a PAL TV and PAL games. Sony have no obligation to make sure such a combination works. If you had bought a UK PS3 then you wouldn't have this issue. The risk of importing anything is that it may not be fully compatiblde with local products.

In answer to you question I am blaming Sony as this issue is spread across the board
It is not only imported PS3s that are suffering uk ones are too and if you can be bothered to look and see what owners are saying you will fined that Sony are to blame as all that is required to fix this problem is a software patch. I do have a NTSC TV by the way and I have tried a US copy of the Simpson’s. All you get from Sony when you phone them
Is you need to bye a new TV that has HD, the UK centre did not even know what error
Message I was talking about so that really inspires confidence. By the way you are talking
You sound like you work for Sony…….So Moogle I suggest you go and learn a bit more about how a PS3 works and keep you advice to you’re self until then.
