This thread is so like living with my cousins again - too funny
anyway dog: i know i'm not a "gentlemen" but thought i'd give you my 2 cents:
We have the PS3 and i have family with the multiple Xbox's and from what i've seen and herd they are pretty close with graphics and capability BUT XBOX360 is in the forfront. Price, performance, visual quality, game selection and online support the XBOX 360 wins in every category. Also XBOX eeks out in front with it's on-line community it's had more time to create a concrete base of gamers who play regularly online.

They know the difference - I think one even mentioned soccer in parentheses to let us know which he was referring to. I have so many Brit friends that I call it football too when with them, and we always seem to be able to tell the difference as to which form we're talking about...which is good, or we'd be perpetually confused.

Ok so that website doesn't specify the compatibility so you'd have to mail them. But play asia does. They are not back in stock until May 20th but that's only 10 days away.
It's compatible with NTSC-J (Asia) and PAL (Europe) www.playasia.com/gta
Author: shinny Time: 5-10-2008 05:30 Subject: Reply 81#81 waterlilybarb's post
For instance, the PS3 is not region dependent, which means you can get the games anywhere. The Xbox is not region free which means that it's left up to the game makers whether they region specify it or not.
On the electronical side too the voltage in the States/Canada is much lower than here. So, some of the electrical goods bought in US/Canada will not work properly here unless you have a converter (not an adapter, that's different) to convert the voltage.
The adapter works for the plugs (because they are different) - So for instance if you bought a laptop in Australia and brought it back to Ireland, all you would need is an adapter (for the plug) as we are on the same voltage. If you bought it in the states, you'd need a converter to break down the voltage otherwise it will burn out the laptop.
Our electrical goods work in the states, but at half the voltage. So, a hair dryer will be much much less powerful on the 110 voltage than it would be at home at 220 voltage. It basically cuts it in half. So, last time I was away I bought a US hairdryer that I bring with me.

Thank you for explaining that to me. I knew it had something to do with the voltage - because I've read the info to bring converters when you travel, but I've never travelled overseas, so hadn't done the actual homework to understand why there was such a difference.
I know that the DVD players and discs are different too, which sucks. They do sell machines that can play the discs from various regions, but I'm willing to wait. I noticed that when I was looking to see when McLeod's Daughters was coming out on DVD, and it obviously comes out in Australia first. North Americans have to wait at least several months before the reformatted discs are available, so I just wait and rent them then.
You'd think with all the bright minds they'd be able to make a universal machine that would play anything from anywhere. Of course, they wouldn't make as much money, so I guess I just answered my own question.

Author: shinny Time: 5-10-2008 07:34 Subject: Reply 86#86 waterlilybarb's post
Yeh, it's all about money.
I suppose not much can be done about the voltage differences because it would cost way too much money for countries on the 110v to upgrade to 220 and for the rest of us to downgrade wouldn't really make sense.
But NTSC and PAL really should be standardised or at least make the consoles/players accept all versions, like the PS3 is now, as part of the norm.
Author: kwargalla Time: 5-10-2008 07:50
Region free dvd players are not that expensive!! actually most of the real cheapy players are region free. since half of my dvd collection is region 1 (canadian) and the other half is region 2 (irish) so i've gone through a couple of dvd players. at the moment i'm using a phillips region free dvd player i picked up for about 70 euro.
the best thing to do when buying a dvd player is ask if it's region free cause most of the time they just hand over a set of codes that unlock the regions.
also when traveling with your laptop to different places most of the time you only need a plug adapter , the big black box thingy (yes this is my tech talk) on the cord can actually change the country voltage to the voltage the laptop requires. this also saves your laptop from lightening strikes and such.
Author: shinny Time: 5-10-2008 07:56 Subject: Reply 95#95 kwargalla's post
Yeh, my DVD player was around the same price. Cheap as chips now.
That's true about the laptop adapter because it has the built in surge control (or voltage converter) - I know some other electronical equipment has this, but unfortunately a lot of it doesn't !!
I bought the nintendo DS lite in New York when I was there last year because it's so much cheaper than here and they tried to sell me a converter for $50. I was like "eh no thanks, do you have any car chargers?" - which they did, at $9 so I just charge it up in the Car !
