    Hi!
    There is a summer sale on PS Store. I'm PS+ member so I get additional discount. I'm also big fan of Resident Evil series. I want to buy game pack - Resident Evil 1,2,3. But there is information that RE1 is in PAL and RE2,3 are in NTSC-US.
    My PS3 has PAL system. Can I play all three games normally?

    Yes, the pal, ntsc thing isn't really valid anymore and when buying old games for new consoles, ie a ps1 game on a ps3, Either will work.

    Ntsc is always preferred though as it's about 16% faster than pal, and ntsc was the speed the game was actually intended to run.

    Enjoy!

    Yes, you can play them (assuming you are playing on a TV made in the last decade or so!), and in fact you'll be playing the superior versions :) Shame the first game isn't included in NTSC, as that is the faster, better, stronger way to play.

    Thanks a lot for fast reply! I didn't know that I can play this game versions (and if NTSC is better - that's cool :D)
    I'm going to buy it :D
