hey guys,

I got a ps3, aus PAL version, and i want to get the uncut version of gta4, I know they are all region free etc etc, but someone told me it MIGHT not work on every tv, i have a fairly standard tv unit, nothing crash hot, good size, maximum 5 years old. my question is,

would it have a problem playing the game on that t.v?

in future ill be buying a massive lcd tv would i have a problem with my lcd playing region free games too?

thanks guys.. appreciate any feedback

It isn't the tv that has region problems, its the DVD player - in this case the PS3. It SHOULD work, I'm not 100% sure but i think games dont have regions , unlike DVD movies.

Incorrect. The TV must support NTSC format. Australia runs on PAL but you should be right mate, most TV's these days support both PAL and NTSC formats.

The PS3 games are 100% region free, no worries there. The blu-rays however are region encoded.

it should work fine

I dont know why you would buy, the only thing that is different is how you interact with the hookers and apparently one cut scene.

Why dont you save your $70 odd and go see a real hooker

As mentioned your TV needs to support NTSC but most TV's do now and have done so for years. If unsure there may be a sticker on the back of the TV that lists model number and such that should also state if it is PAL/NTSC.

Only difference between Aus and USA versions so far is the hookers. I haven't found this missing footage yet.

well, you may be right, but i actually went to buy the aus version, and i asked the guy behind the counter whats the difference, he told me aus version is 1gb less than the usa version, and knowing ps3 games are REALLY small games for some reason... i opted for the us version.

does anyone agree with me on that? i finished need for speed pro street in no time, call of duty 4 in a week, fifa 08 u can only play for 5 years... and virtua tennis is piss easy. im not a freak i only play after work for max 1 hour...

and for the guy who told me about the 1gb difference.. well i dont know if its true.. he had huge glasses and lost a sale for telln me that so who knows.. thanks for all the replies by the way!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
