playstation 3 query

Ones Japanse the other is... American...

Japanses one plays Asian Blu-Ray, US plays US Blu-Ray.


USA and Japan use the same region of Blu-ray, so really there is no difference.
 
As both have different hardware (firmware or OS or something), some games have differences. i.e. some games may have censorship for certain countries. You could both have the same copy of the game (as they are region free). but the experience on a JAP console to a USA console will be different.

I can't think of the exact example but maybe Resistance: Fall of man had some censorship to do with violence that was implemented on Japanese consoles and not on USA ones. (There was a thread in the last 2 weeks that describes the specific censoring and the games affected so far, but I can't remember which games it was).

I assume that the game discs are the same and something in the game code tells it to check the version of PS3 hardware and implements the censorship based on this.

so i'd better get a us ps3 than a eu ps3 for blu-ray releases i suppose

thanks for your replies

I got a US one for that reason alone. I've got loads of R1 DVDs I've not been able to play since the DVD player moved rooms, and I want to be able to get R-A BR discs.
 
hi oliver, can you please recommend some good blu-ray movies pls? I have these in my shopping basket at a popular site: the departed, babel, black hawk down, pear harbour, eragon, casino royale, kingdom of heaven and im unsure about the following two: xmen 3 & prestige

opinions?

Cant as i dont have a pen drive or anything to back up data but everything else i have downloaded form the UK/US and Jap store works fine apart from this demo.

Id be interested to know if this demo works for anyone else its on the US store.
