Will UK PS3/Xbox360 work in Oz?
I'm thinking of getting a Playstation 3 or xbox 360 and just wondered whether they will work over in oz, as I don't want to get one then have to get rid of it as I'd like to keep it for a good few years.
I know the plug will be different, but will oz games work on them?
Thanks.

Apparently the region code is on games aswell as dvd's.
We have ps3 oz version, and it will only play all region dvd's or oz region dvd's
Have spoken with Playstation, and they have also said, same applies to games...
So unless you have shitloads of uk games and dvd's .. dont bother
Get one here

It will work no worries, but Oz PS3's are region coded.

However it will still be region coded for film dvd's.......meaning you will only be able to watch region 2 - uk - dvd's.
As far as i know the xbox is region coded(both games and dvd) - therefore only good in uk if you buy it here.
If you have a large dvd collection from here in the uk then you could, i suppose, buy a uk ps3 but If it were me I would buy a multi region dvd player and get the ps3 in Oz.

Well thanks for all of the replies.
I had read that the PS3 games were region free, but wasn't sure.
So the games from Oz should work in a uk ps3, but the dvd's won't. That's ok, will have a dvd player anyway lol.

Region 2 DVD's usually also carry the Region 4 coding (OZ)
Likewise Region 4 Carry Region 2
I have bought many DVD's from OZ for that very reason
