You are stuck buying games from whatever country you bought the PS3 from i.e if it's Japanese you can only play games made in Japan. Hope that helps :)

SOURCE: playstation 2

if you bought your PS2 where you live then you have a region code problem ..Please make sure the Region Code of the software matches that of the North American PlayStation 2 system. Only discs (games and movies) coded with regions "1" or "All" will work on a North American PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. Consumers residing in the United States or Canada must use a North American PlayStation 2 console in order to view "Region 1" content.

this is same for yours too..

Contact Sony Customer service or take it back to the place you purchased. This is a common malfunction that requires replacement of the PS3.

SOURCE: Playstation 3 turns off for every ten seconds and I can't update!

HI. You will need to Clear Any Failed system updates that cause the console to error. Use this procedure to acheive this .

  • With the console off, press and hold the sync up button (the small white one)
  • While holding the sync button press the power button to turn on the console
  • Continue to hold the sync button until the Console has booted up completely.
  • During the boot process the console should clear any failed updates, allowing you to use it normally.

I bought a second hand PS3. The gent I bought it off has gone overseas and I am unable to get the password for it. How do I set a new one

If you are referring to the Playstation Network Online password then without his personal details you will not be able to reset that password. However you are able to reset the PS3 so that it clears all information so you yourself can go to playstation.com and create your own account. You can then select Playstation Network on the newly restored PS3 and enter your own details.
Follow these simple steps to clear all Playstation Network account details.WARNING! You will lose any saved game data and other information doing this!!
Step 1. Turn your PS3 onto standby. (Red light on)
Step 2. Press and hold the power button. It will beep when you first press it, beep about 5 seconds later then beep again and switch to standby.
Step 3. Take your finger off the power button but press and hold it again. It will beep as soon as you touch it, beep again 5 seconds later then beep twice quickly. When you hear this take your finger off the power button.
Step 4. The PS3 will ask you to connect a controller via USB and press the PS button. Do this and then a menu will appear.
Step 5. Select option 5 "Restore PS3 system". This will restore your PS3 back to a clean state so you can put your own details in, for example time and date, console name.
Step 6. On your computer goto https://store.playstation.com/accounts/register/beginNewAccountRegistrationFlow.action
There you will be able to create a new Playstation Network account for free. You can then use these account details on your PS3 when you log in to Playstation Network.

Hope this helps

Is there anyway of getting older version of ps3 os that is backwards compatible

If I understand your request, backwards compatibility can not be achieved by installing a different version of the PS3 OS.
You have to buy a 20GB, 60GB or 80GB model that supports backward compatibility.
A quick search of Google Products turns up a bunch of backward compatible PS3s for sale.
