US PS3 Quickies

[JB@XL]

Bought a new sealed US 80gb MGS 4 pack and should receive it next week.Done a search but just wanting to check sony haven't changed anything.

Is it still a uk kettle lead that's required ?

Can you register a US machine with a UK address ?

Are games still locked for online play to the region server ?

1) You can use any kettle lead, yeah. Some people recommend a 3A fuse, but I don't think it actually matters.

2) Basically, you can create PSN accounts for all regions. I have a UK, US, JPN, HK and Korean account. You could put your UK address for a UK account, but if you choose to have other accounts (say, for demos not available in all regions yet) you'd have to input a fake address.

3) Depends on the game, some are worldwide, some are based on the region of the PSN account you are playing them on, and an extreme few are based on console region.
