Question
dear sir, i am resident in india i have bought a sony ps3 from usa recently but i am not able to play a pal dvd games available in india on my console only ntsc dvd games work on them do you have any solutions
Hello sir,
Unfortunately the NTSC and PAL formats are not compatible. NTSC is the format used in North America, and PAL is used in most of the rest of the world. You could try to import NTSC-format games from North America, look for a store in your city that sells NTSC games, or exchange your ps3 for one that uses the PAL format. It's not possible to run PAL games on an American ps3.
