Pal Region

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
The PAL region is a video game publication territory which covers most of Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Western Europe. Most games designated as part of the region will not play on NTSC-U/C or NTSC-J region consoles because of regional lockout. While this is the most common occurrence, some Xbox and Xbox 360 games are region-free encoded, since Microsoft's policy is for publishers to decide. Sony has a similar policy for the PSP, but most publishers choose not to encode a region on their UMD games. PlayStation 3 Blu-ray Disc games are region-free. All Nintendo home consoles have region locking either by software encoding or physical differences in media and consoles. Nintendo handhelds are region-free, along with most other historical systems, except for the Nintendo DSi which features region locking for the DSi specific software.
