1. kahit anong region okay lang, kasi ang ps3, kahit anong region ng games, pwede. region free kasi ito. ako, i have an asian ps3 along with asian ps3 games, kasi mas mura. mas mura lalo pag second hand games basta ingat ka lang sa scammer. i recommend www.pinoyps.com for second hand games.

2. kapag nagrorotate ang cd pag pinasok mo sya sa ps3, dual lens sya. now i don't know kung puro dual lens ang nasa market as we speak. pero akin dual lens.

3. it varies talaga. marami naman dyang nag ooffer na okay. 22k nakita ko, 2 na controllers, 2 free games (pero hindi masyado bago), hdmi cable... check gogadgets. search mo na lang sa google.

4. tip? one tip na narinig ko from a friend is, kelangan gamitin lang ang ps3 parati. or at least every other day. kasi ang cause daw nito ay ang pagkaamag ng lens. so para maiwasan gamitin daw ito ng madalas and keep it dust free.

5. akin, asian, so its 220v na agad, pwede diretso power outlet na kagad. kapag US itanong mo muna sa bibilhan mo, just to make sure. yung mga common na avrs ang gamitin mo. wala namang kaso don.

6. i would suggest searching in pinoyps. eto ang binibilhan ng mga friends ko, si re_pax31. his thread if the admin would let me: http://www.pinoyps.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10163

hope these help.

Hope this will help you in choosing what region of games your going to buy.

Each has its own pros and cons...

R1 Most games expensive, but preferred to Filipino gamers. Easy to sell/buy used games. Early released of updates and DLC's.

R2 Most DLC's region specific only. Availability of PSN cards matters, EU Market no PSN cards very inconvenient. Prices will go down instantly even to newly released games. Brilliant lines of collectable games. Some limited editions superior to R1 & R2 released.

R3 Cheaper than R1 & R2 of newly released games. Interoperatibility of some region free DLC's. Language barriers hassle to gamers.

Note: PS3 console region free to games even it's NTSC or PAL.

Mga experts dyan correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
