It also appears it is being test marketed in many place in Europe, including Paris. Seriously this is the world's fourth major mobile standard, this is getting worse than the analogue days.

The TV tuner doesn't pick up NTSC TV airwaves. It picks up DMB signals, which are specifically used for mobile TV in South Korea. It's like the 1seg service in Japan, but specific for Korea.

Nevermind I think I found the answer. While South Korea is adopting ATSC for its digital standard for regular TV, they use a tech called DMB for mobile transmissions. This tech is exclusive to Korea.

Not that I want one or anything but I am curious what makes the TV tuner incompatible in the US. South Korea uses NTSC as it's analogue standard and ATSC as it's digital standard so that shouldn't be an issue unless this uses some propriatary service. Anybody in the know care to explain?

Yes, they typically share the “NTSC-J” region on their consoles. I know this is the case on the Gamecube and PS2. I think I read somewhere it is also the same for the Wii.

yeah, it kind of was written like it was a temporary thing.
reverse importing shouldnt be such a big deal. it is only 5000yen cheaper in Korea plus you have the voltage issues like you said. Also, lugging the ps3 on an airplane is not fun. I carried a PS3 from Tokyo to Boston once so I know :)

Hmm… that's interesting. SCEK hasn't said anything about shorting the PS3 and their promoting it with new games. Perhaps, it is/was a temporary thing?

Want gives sony import psp's get awesome boxes for packing the U.S. gets poopy packaging. Bring back the cool packing. And one more thing sony if the iphone and the mylo gets a boat load of cool apps why can we get more apps on the psp as well. PSP wants more apps, video player update to at least video 8, 9 would be great or work a deal with hulu or youtube to make app for psp.

They still have PS3s in Korea and new games. The ad is interesting, though.

Korea PS2s play Japanese games and of course “Asian” releases, but I would be wary about importing a PS2 from Korea because of the voltage difference if you're in the states.
