    The game must be specified as PAL to work on European consoles.

    I'm not sure what type play asia would sell but I would guess that they are NTSC, which won't work unless you have a PAL converter.

    It works fine I bought it from there myself. If you look at the little boxes with the green ticks and red X's down a bit on the page it shows you if its region free or not. NTSC-J (Japan/ASian) NTSC-U/C (USA/Canada) PAL (Europe)
