Hi Naturally all PS3 Games are Region Free meaning you can buy games from any country and play them on your PS3. However Blue ray movies usually have region codes with a small exception, below is the region code based on countries.

Region A: East Asia (except Mainland China and Mongolia), Southeast Asia, North America, South America and their dependencies. Region B: Africa, Southwest Asia, Europe (except Russia), Oceania and their dependencies. Region C: Central Asia, East Asia (Mainland China and Mongolia only), South Asia, central Eurasia and their dependencies.

When i try to play a dvd on my ps3 its telling me region code not found

hi there,
the ps3 will only play dvd's from your region(e.g. region 1 usa, 2 europe etc..) So depending on where you got your dvd, if it's not the region as your ps3, the ps3 will not play the dvd. however the ps3 will play blu-rays and games from anywhere in the world as it plays region-free blu-ray discs. I know it's a pain in the neck, but you will have to find a region free dvd player to play that dvd. Hope this helps.

PS3 BLU-RAY DVD PLAYER REGION FREE

This is because you bought the ps3 from america, it will not let you play anything you buy from europe, i had this problem when i was in germany too i had bought the ps3 in michigan and tried to play in germany and got the same exact error code. i just ordered all my games from amazon. but eventually bought a new ps3 from their region. i dont know why sony does this i personally think it is to stop illegal burning via the internet.

I have bought several American Blue Ray disks from Amazon but they won't play on my PS3. Any Ideas on how to unlock the disks so they will play on PS3 or have i just wasted rather a lot of money? Help...

If you have bought Blu-Rays from the wrong region, you have wasted your money. There is no way to use a blu-ray disc from another region on your PS3. Next time, try to get region-free Blu-Ray discs.

Usa to uk

I have one in the uk, some blue ray discs are region encoded (some work some don't). Uk DVD's don't work and neither do old uk playstation 1 or 2 games. However all PS3 games are region free and work fine.

PS3 region code

Yes you can.. Blu-ray discs are not region coded.. However if you trying to play a DVD or any other format disc then it would not be possible since these are region coded.. However the PS3 games are region free.. can be bought from anywhere and played anywhere..

Hope this helps!!

Is there any way I can convert the region on my ps3

Not really. You could rip the DVD on your computer, then burn it to a new DVD without regional encoding.

Or you could install linux to run on your PS3 and use any number of software solutions under Linux: http://www.psubuntu.com/

But you're not going to be able to just play out of region DVDs as-is.
