Hi,

My brother is in Thailand and can get a (legitimate) copy of GTA4 for between 30 and 40 euro. I presume there's no "region" issue with these as there would be for movies, is there?

Thanks

No region locking for games. There could be some issues with online gaming though, but I'm not sure

Ah, that's great, thanks!

Is it for the 360 or PS3?

360 games can sometimes be region locked.

It's for the PS3.

You should be fine then.

That's great - thanks for the replies everyone!

Eh.......it IS region locked for the PS3. There is an NTSC version, and a PAL version.

As long as his TV can support a NTSC signal he should be fine. Most modern TVs can.

The PS3 doesn't have any region locking for games... well.. not yet anyway..
