Are all PAL PS2 consoles from different regions compatible???

[alfa_beta]

Hi,
Can I play a PAL game from Aus in a European PAL based PS2 console? I am getting a good deal on a few games in Aus and wanted to verify they will play on a UK based console before buying them?

Have heard that US & Japan NTSC consoles are not compatible... is there a similar sort of incompatibility between European, Australaian & Asian PAL based PS2 consoles and game CD/DVDs.

Pls lemme know.

Thanks.

PAL is PAL.
Infact the games sold in Australia are the UK versions.

ok... thought maybe PAL also works same way as NTSC coz u can't play japanese games in US & vice-versa even though they r both NTSC.

PAL = 50hz
NTSC = 60hz
