WillemHoef Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm from the Netherlands and live there, so if i pre-order GTA V from Amazon.co.uk, will i be a able to play it on my 'dutch' playstation 3? Or does it have some kind of different area code? Or is it the same because it's both in the EU? So many questions haha, does anyone know for sure? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wait-for-it Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I ordered GTA IV from China so I guess there is no problem. I pre ordered GTA V at amazon.uk too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milkman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think the PS3 isn't region locked at all, so you should be able to play it. P.S. http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=558051 Good thread if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r34ld34l Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) You will be fine. Just for info, SECAM is dissapearing (it is made by Frenchman), including Russia, they are going to PAL. Edited July 19, 2013 by r34ld34l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3ex2 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If Netherlands uses PAL then yeah it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRenemy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) PAL / NTSC etc only sure matters with composite cables? HDMI / VGA etc are all resolutions that work with any HD TV / monitor and so on.... I'm sure I'm not missing anything there, like 1080p is 1080p no matter where you are in the world and what TV or monitor you're watching it through. Like its not scanlines anymore that we're dealing with. EDIT: I suppose I kind of confused matters more with my composite cables remark...... I understand that means that if someone is using interlaced low-resolution output through c/cables then PAL/NTSC may be an issue, but if you're playing into VGA or HDMI then region coding doesnt matter at all, and consoles can play any disc from any part of the world (with the exception of mayb a handful?) but GTA V won't be one of them. I remember getting sent free copies of Saints Row (long story) from America, and I also had my own PAL disc, and nothing was different except the back of the actual box. The discs were identical besides the "NTSC" and "PAL" marking on the front. Edited July 19, 2013 by JonRenemy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJohnnyStark Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yes, UK games will be playabe on your PS3... You can also play UK games with dutch subtitles... (even GTA IV was the same case, so it might be also the same for GTA V BUT ATTENTION: in order to redeem the DLC codes of CE or SE (or also the preorder code for the blimp), you might need a UK PSN account!! because these codes are maybe region locked... once it happened to me with a prorder bonus of another game, so this might also be the case with GTA V...

DiEgOw_CrAzY Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You will be fine. Just for info, SECAM is dissapearing (it is made by Frenchman), including Russia, they are going to PAL. Brazil is NTSC too, not PAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
