im in india. im planning to buy a PS3 from singapore. does region codes plays a role..... i will be watching blu-ray movies also in it.......
Yes. The PS3 from Singapore will be Region B for BDs. It will play Region B and region free (A/B/C) BDs only. Also it will not play DVDs that are region coded other than Region 2 or region free.
Note that PS3 cannot be modded to make it R-free (at least I have not heard of a mod). If you intend to watch movies only then a player will be a better and cheaper alternative.
Yes. That is true and I stand corrected.As far as I know, Singapore is Region "A" for Blu-Ray. Please check your facts.

Buying a 'Region A' blu-ray player makes the most sense. The reason for this is quite simple. The vast majority of blu-rays released in India are either Region A/B/C or Region A/C. There are very, very few blu-rays that are only 'Region C'. Whereas on the other hand due to the US being 'Region A' a lot of the libraries stock 'Region A' movies and also blu-rays purchased from the US, Singapore & Hong Kong are also mostly 'Region A' only or 'Region A/B/C'.
i bought a ps 3 from hongkong...and luckily its region A...i am quite happy with it..as most of the blu rays in USA are quite cheap compared to india....
There isnt much problem with region code on DVD and games yet.
