So, does this work for pc users in the U.S.? UK editions being sold on the bay say PAL.

It works. There is a Steam code in the box. I live in the US but ordered UK version for price. I am glad I purchased it at a low price overseas because the game isn't that good. It seems more like a lighting tech demo than a full fledged game. Just not as fun or good as RE4 \ 5.

PC version runs on any computer with Windows (from XP to 8 I guess) and the game minimum requirements. Only console versions could have a region code (pal or ntsc), which could vary in different countries.

Yes it does. This model has no issues working in the U.S...Aslo, I purchased games and I am playing them just fine. and once you power up the first time it lets you choose your regional settings including language.

I bought this player to read region 2 PAL-format dvds from UK (as well as my region 1 NTSC-format discs from US). It can convert between PAL and NTSC formats - set it up with front panel buttons. See Appendix 6 "Additional Information" in the manual. There is a table that shows the 3 modes - NTSC (output is always NTSC, will convert PAL sources), or PAL (output is always PAL, converts NTSC source), or AUTO (does not convert, puts out program from source as-is.) Works OK for me. Does not require a TV that goes both ways, will work with PAL (European) or NTSC (US) scan rate source material.

No, if I remember correctly PAL is a European mode of Video. I am pretty sure that is correct but I could be wrong, if so very sorry!!!

This will not work on an American PS3. I bought it and received it yesterday. It is a PAL version disk. Region 2. I could not play it on my US version PS3. I returned the game.

The Sony PD170 I bought from the US records in NTSC but I converted it to PAL for the UK and Africa

Yeah it just has to be for the correct region. I.E. NTSC for US and JP; and PAL for euroland. Just avoid the insanely confusing NTSC japanese scart connector; its some crazy special pinout of scart for Japan; the normal scart for NTSC will work even with a JP super Famicom. Learned this the hard way.

Thank you for your interest in our products. As long as you have the correct software to play those different region it will work.

Toshiba players don't play PAL. So buying hd-dvd's from Europe would be a waste of money. I own 3 Toshiba players, A2, A30 and A35 from which none playes PAL. I email cust srv from Toshiba and they told me that the players don't have a PAL decoder onboard. Bummer!

No, I did my research after reading your question, and it looks like Blu-Ray uses a "region coding" system similar to DVD players.But if you're desperate to play PAL DVDs, Amazon's independent sellers have a lot of players that are region free, and you can get them for cheap. I got one for $50, and it's played any DVD I've thrown at it, regardless of region.

This is inaccurate.PAL discs are converted by the player. I have one and tested it soon after it arrived. It works flawlessly on my NTSC-only TV.This player will play literally almost ANYTHING. Format, code, region, you name it.

I did some homework before I purchased the unit. Pioneer markets at least two versions of the BDP-150. An inexpensive version for the US market only and a more expensive one that plays all regions. If you do a google "shopping" search for the Pioneer BDP-150 you'll see what I mean. At the time, I suspected and the other responses confirm that Pioneer markets a PAL version as well. They probably market in all regions of the world. Why they use the same model number is anyone's guess. Seems to me it's causes unnecessary confusion.

No it definitely will not. I hope it will be released for the uk market soon as I bought it for my son and he cannot play it on his machine.

Is that true? Well to be honest, I haven't opened the case yet because I'm on Black Flag still. I have a US ps3, and I'll be sure to check in a day or so when I get back to it and let you know. But it should be fine. Games are not region locked, but I hear DLCs are. Also I hear that all you would need to ensure a games compatibility is an HDMI cable, but I don't really know the logic in that to confirm it. Anyhow, I'll check in a day or two and comeback to let you know.

Please elaborate your question. Matter how so? I've been playing the US versions for over a decade with no problem

I bought the NTSC version and I can confirm that it works on a PAL tv. There is an option in settings where you can select PAL or NTSC. I can only assume that a PAL version also works on an NTSC tv...

I don't know if UK version will work in US or not. You might ask the manufacturer.
