BLUC, BLES, BLUS --- Why?

**dbzlotrfan** · 04-13-2011,03:56 PM

Just curious, why the difference in folder names before the #'s? Indication of something or because the devs could?

Indication of what region the game is. BLUS = USA BLES = EU BLUC = I have no clue

Guess that'd make it easy. Then oddly some have a - before the numbers as well. Seems odd to me to have the 4th letter be S for retail when R would seem more logical.

First letter: indicates the storage format. Can be either "B" for Blu-Ray or "S" for DVD.

Second letter: indicates if it is a first party game (Sony) or third party game (exclusive or not). Letter "C" for first party and letter "L" for third party.

Third letter: indicates the region. "A" = Asia, "J" = Japan, "U" = United States and "E" = Europe.

Fourth letter: indicates the type of content. "D" = Demo, "S" = Game.

Just look at any game's orginal box. If you look at the spine, you will see the game ID, given by the SONYS. Also, when the oringal game disc is read it shows up as BLU-RAY DRIVE:/GAME ID/ ETC

Then why do some of the games Ive rented from my local "Family Video" (a National Chain video store) say BLES some say BLUS and Im in the USA?

They could've been sold/donated to them from a European user.

BCUS/BLUS = USA
BCES/BLES = Europe
BCAS/BLAS = Asia
BCJS/BLJS/BLJM = Japan
MRTC = Multiregion/International

You can view games and their titleID @ PS3 Game Database.

Really that is a joke if he had to ask that you can bet they aren't his disc that he just happens to collect from around the world without knowing there is a difference.

You are a pirate!!
