US NTSC PS3 Playing UK PAL Games

[shavers007]

I have been having problems when trying to play certain UK PAL games on my US NTSC PS3, games like COD 3 will not play and I get the error message simular to "You cannot play this game at your current video output settings".

Until now I have had problems but have found a way I can play them. What confuses me is that users state that the US NTSC machine only supports NTSC games but if that was the case why does the solution I found work and why can't I play them just by inserting the disc?

To play UK PAL games which are locked use the method below, you will need the game F1: Championship edition.

1. Goto multiplayer menu
2. Select Exit to main menu
3. At the confirmation popup to exit main menu, swap your disc with the locked game.
4. Confirm the popup to exit to main menu
5. Your locked PAL game will work, enjoy

Why don't Sony make it possible just to be able to play UK PAL games rather then doing the above?

Also works using Resistance


1. Play Campaign
2. Press Start in game (for Pause menu)
3. At the Pause Menu, eject resistance disc
4. Insert the effected Blue Ray disc
5. Select Save and Quit from the menu
6. The game will boot

Hey, does this idea also work for PAL PS2 games? Pleeeeaaasssee tell me that it does. LOL. I own "Dragon's Lair 3d" for the PS2 and I have a NTSC American PS3 system and I've been wanting to play this game for like EVERRRRRR!! I really hope that idea works for PAL PS2 games too. Are there any other games besides that racing game and resistance that I can use to get this to work? I just sold Resistance: Fall of man just recently. can you guys think of any other PS3 games that would work? Thanks for your time. Looking forward to hearing back from you guys soon.

Does anyone know a solution to run the game "Ashes Cricket 2009"? I am getting the same video output error for trying to run a PAL game on an NTSC PS3. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
