If I take my PS3 over to Korea, will I be able to play games that I buy in Korea on my North American system? Will they be in Korean?

It will use the USA store. Should be no problem. I don't think you will be able to purchase movies for download... could be wrong. Can you do that in the USA on the PS3 now? We can't in Korea.

USA store? Even if I'm Canadian? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by USA store... Reeeeeally looking forward to NHL 10 and COD 6...

You'll most definitely be able to play those games. I had Blazblue shipped over here from the US (my ps3 is korean) and it works perfectly.

All PS3 games are region free, movies however are not. I believe nearly all Korean versions of PS3 games have English, but there are exceptions. Check the back of the box for language options if you can. If you're unsure, just pick it up from www.play-asia.com.

If you order off of those websites they will most likely have English, but if you try to buy a game at Yongsan or someplace like that within Korea don't expect it to have English. Also Grantasmagoria, I believe that DVDs are region free, but Bluerays are not... though I haven't had the chance to test that out yet, that's just what I hear...

No DVDs are region coded but most blurays are not.
