PS3 Showing in Black and White

[TurkzZ]

I have a PS3 in the uk and when i plug it into my TV its Black & White, when i tried it on my mates HDTV it was colour.

The PS3 Version is a NTSC-J

is there any adaptor i can get to make it show colour?

Is because your TV is PAL and PS3 NTSC.

Ah that's quite unfortunate; being a resident of Europe, your TV is PAL and the Japanese and American versions of the PS3 have a signal output in NTSC. You could try "googling" for an adapter, although I can't say that I've ever heard of one. My suggestion would to be sell it or buy a high definition TV.

HDMI and DVI have their own standards, neither of which are PAL or NTSC. They're universally compatible in all regions. But if he's asking about NTSC, I take it he's not using the HDMI port so... nevermind.
