I bought a PS3 from Hong Kong but after bringing it to the U.S. 2 games don't work...?
The 2 games worked in Hong Kong but not here and I tried playing the games on my friend's ps3 and it works just fine but I'm still having the same problem. However, when I tried a japanese game it works perfectly. I was wondering if there is a region lock or if my PS3 has a problem. If my PS3 does have a problem can I have it fixed in the US even though I have a 1 year free warranty in Hong Kong? Additional Info: The 2 games are Call of Duty 4 (U.S. Version) and Grand Theft Auto 4 (European Version).

PS3 systems have a region block. I know we have to buy games from the US to play on our US PS3 in Australia.

Will a Bang & Olufsen LCD/Plasma TV from UK, USA or Australia work in Hong Kong
Will a Bang & Olufsen LCD/Plasma TV from UK, USA or Australia work in Hong Kong?
I want to buy a Bang & Olufsen TV from UK, USA or maybe Australia as they're much cheaper than in HK.... but will it work? B&O dealers obviously say not... Also when going back home (to Australia), would like to take the tv back

Now, dont take my 100% word on it and rush off, but I'll do my best to help from experience. A while back I went to Norway with some family and friends (departing from the US) and found a lot of electronics (as most intl. travelers know) don't work unless they were purchased/made in/for that specific country. However you can purchase adapters (or a universal adapter) from some electronic stores which allow you to use the item originally used for the US (for instance) in other countries like the UK, Norway, and so forth. I would assume, as most LCD screens/Televisions nowadays are sold both in the US as well as Hong Kong and other eastern countries that if anything all you would need would be a plug adapter. Hope that helps!

It's somewhat complicated but here's what I know If you buy from the united states I am 100% sure it won't work. The united states is on a 60 hz while hong kong is on 50% It will wreck the tv not to mention the power plug is different and the voltage is double in hong kong. It won't work if you buy from Australia because the power plug is different, but the voltage and hz mach. The UK has the best chances of working the frequency is the same 50 hz, the power plug is the same, but the voltage in the UK is 220 volts and the voltage in Hong Kong is 230-240 but I think that should work most appliances can take a wide variety of voltages

it will depend on the video system weather it is PAL or NTSC

Is there anyone that can help me find an American friend working in Hong Kong
Is there anyone that can help me find an American friend working in Hong Kong?
I have placed postings on lost friend websites to no avail. Some of the phone number websites ask for chinese names, which I don't know and someone recently tried to scam me into believing my friend had been seriously hurt in Africa in an auto accident and needed money to help with medical expenses. Maybe someone in Hong Kong could help me search?
