Contrary to what Qatari advises, the PS3 is region FREE.

Meaning that any region game will work with the ps3.

 

Having said that, i think there are DVD movie restrictions.

 

The PS3's voltage doesn't matter either because they have built in regulators.

 

I myself have a white Japanese PS3 (bought in Qatar) and it works perfectly find with everything.

 

Just make sure you buy an HD cable if you have an HD tv since PS3's don't come with that.

 

The Middle East's standard system is PAL.

However you can get NTSC-J NTSC-UC and PAL all over in stores.

I recommend the NTSC-UC (US, for movies because they come out later).

 

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what you get.
