I have a ps3 from the PAL regions, and I want to import a US ps3 game.

my sdtv supports ntsc (works with my US PS2 games)

so will the games work on my tv with the PS3?

Yes it should

My buddy has a PAL PS3 (also lives in UK) and he got BC:R off my homie (california dude). It worked for him, but on the other end my homie tried to get Tekken online off UK dude and it didn't work dude to the format.

Just thought I would post this in here :D

It all depends on your TV. PAL and NTSC are different resolutions.

If your TV supports NTSC -> then US games will work.

To test this download some demo's off the US PSN. If they work on your SDTV then your good to go. If they do not work then bad luck.
