Demon's Souls PS3

[Wlad]

I just read on vgreleases.com that Demon's Souls does not have a publisher in Europe and therefore we in South Africa will probably not get it. This seriously sucks as I watched a couple of trailers and this game looks awesome! I SO wanna play it.

It does have a publisher in North America and it will be released there on 6 October. Does anyone know whether American PS3 games will work on the consoles here in SA? I am new to PS3 so I have no idea whether it will work.
I am seriously considering importing this game from America if it does not get a European publisher, but I wanna know if it will work first.

*EDIT*

I just read that you can only play NTSC games on a NTSC console and this game does not have a PAL version. This totally sucks! I want this damn game, it looks AWESOME! Does anyone know if there is anything that I can do to play this game? (except getting an American PS3 console, of course)

Yes it will work , I have region 1(US) PS3 games that work on my PAL PS3, the only thing that is region locked is DLC. You can even buy the game from Zaps http://www.zaps.co.za/index.php?pid=29774, which i'm gonna do at the end of this month . The Demon's Souls from Zaps is the asian version. Hopes this helps.

Dude, you just made my day! I was gonna get Batman: Arkham Asylum when it gets released, but then I saw Demon's Souls. I am definately getting this game at the end of the month from Zaps. I cannot wait

*EDIT*

Also, do you perhaps know whether this Asian version will have online functionality here in good old South Africa?

And sorry to ask, but you are absolutely certain that it will work? I don't wanna fork out my hard-earned cash for something that I can't use. I have the current 80GB PS3 (bought it almost a month ago), dunno if this makes a difference in the compatibility of imported games.

If I remember correctly, asia and SA have the same region code. China has it's own code... SA's code is 2, I think.

I just called Zaps and they said that they have sold a lot of copies of this game, so it should definately work. Yippee!!!! I can't wait for payday!

Dude, do yourself a favour and go check youtube or gametrailers videos of this game. It looks INSANE! It's an open-ended action RPG, my favourite. It also gets pretty good reviews.

Just checked it out on gametrailers, looks good

[Wlad]

That it does. Apparently it's also a very difficult game, one reviewer says that you'll learn to play it by dying ... a lot. The bosses look insane, they are like HUGE, couple of times the size of your character. I cannot wait for payday to get this game.

Doesn't look as epic as shadow of the colusses HUGE though..... what a brilliant game that was -sjoe- when is no2 coming out?
Between this,Mass Effect2,Dragon Ago,Assassins Creed 2. I'm gonna be very poor this year
