I want to buy this for my 6 year old grandson in the US. Will the player automaticaly play PAL or will my son have to crack a code?

I bought it for my daughter to use and watch UK set of Downton Abbey DVDs when those were only ones available--I think there is a switch to change for different formats but not certain--I had good luck emailing the company selling them when I needed a new in-home charging cord=maybe try them if no other info...

It should play, but I wouldn't recommend this model. It broke down after a month, and reading other reviews, I wasn't the only one.

Jason: Mine plays NTSC and PAL region free discs fine but anything that is region locked (2, 3, etc) wont play. I played some discs that were marked region 2 pal and they would not play but others also marked region 2 pal played fine as well as region 3. I suspect that, at least in my case, that some of my dvd's might be labeled region 2 or 3 but are in fact all region or region 0. Have you checked anything that you know for sure is region locked? Its very interesting that you are having no issues at all. At least I know that it is NTSC PAL friendly. Otherwise, this player rocks

Some games depending on your setting if you have them on Spanish they will play in Spanish it's kinda like a automatic thing. But I have mine in English I really don't know if it will play the best way to find out it's through google

I did some checking around and the NTSC's version I purchased. It is said to be compatible with PAL systems. I hope this helps. (You may need a US PSN account for any upcoming downloadable content.)

This will not work on an American PS3. I bought it and received it yesterday. It is a PAL version disk. Region 2. I could not play it on my US version PS3. I returned the game.

Yes, in fact it's the only way to play on US servers. If you buy a code from one of their European gates, or even through a European amazon gate, it will only be good for Euro servers. I bought a code on US amazon for a friend in Europe and we play together on US servers.

This is inaccurate. PAL discs are converted by the player. I have one and tested it soon after it arrived. It works flawlessly on my NTSC-only TV. This player will play literally almost ANYTHING. Format, code, region, you name it.

1. I found PAL listing in the set up menu so you change this using your remote control.2. I did not even need to make it region free to make it work for DVD's from other countries. Even if you need this the code is already posted by a reviewer on Amazon

Yes it Does Play PAL discs, BUT, they have to be ALL region or region A/1. Same with DVD's, if they are all region PAL, it WILL play it.gerard masters

My 6 yr old son plays this game all the time with me. There is a learning curve with the game. It doesn't come with a manual, you have to download it from the games site

As far I Know, both player models do play PAL discs since they convert it into NTSC --- you just need a NTSC TV set, a ubiquitous feature in any US television.

I copied this from a website, but I verified the digit sequence from another website: 1. Press Setup 2. Select Preference 3. Press 1,3,8,9,3,1 4. Press up/down key to select "0" Then it plays NTSC or PAL any region as it is now region free. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN ENTERING THIS. IF YOU DON'T DO IT CORRECTLY, IT CAN DISABLE YOUR PLAYER PERMANENTLY. Try at your own risk.

No, it won't. You can download or buy the disc but it won't play the game the way you would want. Can't make your own people and intermingle with the people already on the game.

I do not know what PAL is....I personally do not play this game. It was for my two young boys and they don't know what the PAL is either so I am not able to help you...sorry

No it won't. This product is for Region 2 only. It's region locked for us here in the USA.

Not sure at all, the game functions and plays normally. Likely a description of what one may do with it, add it to your collection/stockpile

Please elaborate your question. Matter how so? I've been playing the US versions for over a decade with no problem
