How Do I Play Final Fantasy XII PAL on a PS3?

Phase alternating line (PAL) encoding is the primary encoding system used for European and African countries, as well as China and Australia. The National Television System Committee (NTSC) encoding is used in North America, parts of South America, Japan and other Asian territories. Video games and DVDs are encoded for different territories. To play the PAL version of the PlayStation 2 game, "Final Fantasy XII" on a PlayStation 3 video game console requires a PAL model PlayStation 3 that is also capable of backward compatibility with PlayStation 2 games.

Instructions

- 1
  Check the PlayStation 3 box for the "PAL" symbol. This will inform you whether you have a PlayStation 3 capable of playing PAL games.
- 2
  Check the model number on the back of the PS3 to make sure the model owned is capable of backward compatibility with PlayStation 2 games. The models that are backward compatible are CECHB01, CECHA01 and CECHE01. These sequences will be the final seven digits in the serial number.
- 3
  Insert the "Final Fantasy XII" disc into the PlayStation 3 disc drive.
