If its a PC game, then yes. If its a console game, no.

If its a PC game, then yes. If its a console game, no.

Unless you have a modded console like me :p:

There are three standards for TV signals.. NTSC, used in most of North America and some other areas. The PAL and SECAM are the other major types, used in other countries. Neither is compatible with others. Check what type of signal standard your TV uses before buying.. or you will have to spend a lot of money for a signal converter. If the game is for the PC, it should work on any PC. If for a console, then you may have problems. Those game consoles generally don't have a switch to select output signal type.
