Question for the gamers

[B Randon]

I have looked but cant find out, if any of the ps2 games that are from other regions can be played on the ps3. I have found a uk an aus released ps2 game that I want to get but unsure if it will work on my ps3. Any one have any info or done this before?

only the original PS3s (Large Brick Ones) were backwards compatible with ps2 games. All PS3's can play PS1 games though.

I would assume all.

It will not work. US games and non-US games are not compatible with systems from the opposite region. US games are NTSC coded and non-US games are PAL coded. Here's more info:

You know, a quick search turns up at least one Whoovian themed game for PS3.

yup they each have there own region code that has to match so they can play. Now If you wanna get nerdy you can flash you ps2 to not a region code and can plan any and all games. thats alot of work and above my head I tried to do it to my 360 and gave up like 4 years ago
