No. Im not even sure if it will work.there are different formats of games for different countries. and ebay is stupid :b Nevermind. I though ps3 games weren't region free because ps2 ones were. But that doesn't mean I'm an idiot.
2 :
papahet is wrong at least 99% of PS3 games are region free meaning you can play any game from any country on your English PS3 or American PS3 etc... there are some games that are region locked though(like Demon's Souls that you would have to buy the game that matches your region).
3 :
of course they would, don't listen to the idiot above or below me.. lol. ps3 games are region free, meaning all ps3 games of different regions will work, just like the old school Gameboy Games. :D However, DVD's, ps2, (if compatiable), and ps1 games ar NOT region free. You will need a system of the region. Im not sure about the subtitles and the english case... the game is from a different region.. remember, English in not a universal language.. but it's getting thier so you maybe surprised. :D

it will if you have a hdtv and a hdmi cable if you have these any game from anywhere in the world will work only some games work if you have a sdtv

yes i buy them online because some are cheaper
2 :
CDs work just fine. I've lived in USA, India, & UK, purchased CDs from all of the countries and they work fine everywhere. CDs don't have the region encoding like DVDs do. Purchase as many as you want!
3 :
Where have you been living? Somewhere in the remote places in New Zealand? CD's will definitely work no matter where they came from, just download it off itunes or something, it's far more convenient.
4 :
yes, i never knew that thing about the dvds though...

No it does not as the wii is region locked. don't even get a game from china it mostly likely pirated as china does not have wii games to answer your question I really don't know what you mean by formatting
2 :
Before SSBB released I had a few friends who played the japanese version on their Wii's so i'm thinking it should work for you
3 :
You'll need to either modchip your wii (expensive, voids your warrenty) or buy a freeloader. This will let you play games from other regions on your US wii. Available Here: http://www.jr.com/datel/pe/DTL_DUS0264_hy_I/

HOog Kong is NOT part of the Nintendo Big 3. Most likely, Hong Kong gets PAL Region Games. It should work, but check the box. If it says i-Que Wii, then you got a problem. I'll explain. There are 3 regions Nintendo Supports: Nintendo Of Japan (Big N) Nintendo Of America Nintendo Of Europe There is another that covers not-so-important countries, called Nintendo PAL Then, there is Nintendo of China, but due to goverment restrictions, they operate as i-Que (Nintendo of China) You should be able to find at least a PAL Copy because Hong Kong is a Special Zone in China and operates almost as it's own international country, but still anexed by by China.
