    I'm heading over to New York next week and was hoping to pick up the special edition MGS4 (especially considering how much cheaper it is over there). I've looked up about whether or not american ps3 games will work on my PAL one and have gotten conflicting reports. Will this game work on my PS3?

    It will work fine,the only problem is that metal gear online is region locked. You will only be able to play against americans online. For this reason alone i wouldn't bother getting the game in the US.

    europe is not a country there are a lot of them in it

    the delay for the video service is local laws and copyrights

    I bought the amercian special edition on Ebay and it plays fine on a PAL PS3. Haven't played it online yet though.

    doesn't it have to be running though the HDMI to work over here? or does that matter with newer tvs anyways?
