wasted Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 In ordering a game I got into a back and forth with online game site about the compatibility of a game. As in they sold out of Asia region one. But I checked Europe version and it was NtSC-J. So I ordered that one. But when it came it was PAL only. But it worked!So wtf is the point of NtSC-J, Ntsc U/C, PAL?

PS3 was almost entirely region-free, 360 had a good number of region-free games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 PAL, NTSC, etc had to do with broadcasting back when people bought videotapes, but when DVDs came out, they started breaking things up into region codes. It has to do with licensing, getting clearance and distribution. Maybe some players automatically change the region code when you pop the game in, but I know with Sony DVD players, they limit you to change region codes 4 or 5 times, unless they made their player region free.

Try it.I don't know, maybe your memory is wrong. I don't mean to be rude, but they're completely different platforms that run different code so what you're saying literally couldn't have been possible.You might have been able to see a title video or screen, but there's no conceivable way that the game could have actually been launched and played, even for just a minute or two.
