Thats the reason why dude,it seems your TV is only capable of receiving PAL streams.
Sorry to say it but its your TVs fault and not the game or the PS3.

Also if it wasnt region free it wouldnt play in your PS3 at all.

He is right and by the way buy an RGB cable or something then it all will be ok (you won't see any black and white picture anymore)

hi
all you have to do is to change the color sittings from your TV menu
if the color sittings was PAL change it to NTSC or to AUTO and eveRy thing will be fine xD

Dude if his TV isnt capable of producing NTSC an RGB cable wont help,however it will probably help the other TV that dosnt show the colours great.

If you had said 1996 it would have been more believable,if it was the case that multi region TVs were being made as far back as 1986 then that would have been the norm from at least 1996 but it wasnt,ive known people to buy TVs in 1999 and they are only one region specific.

Also if multi region TVs were made in 1986 would have been VERY exspensive.

The multi region TV's production started in the 70's by SONY..don't be a ...

Im not trying to call you a liar or anything and im not trying to be offensive its just i find it hard to believe multi region TVs were around back then.I mean i was born in 1981 and the first multi region tv i seen was around 1996,ive had a few TVs and was never able to play American PS1/PS2 games on them and they wernt cheap either.If you dont mind me asking,what TV do you have.
