Sure, then your BR-Drive won't read/play games with the other motherboard, if it works at all (motherboards are not the same).
Sounds like a lot of work, for a $299.99 console. The motherboards for PAL are different than NTSC & NTSC-J. You should really RESEARCH it, then you will know why it isn't going to work for you.
So, you can't find a $150.00 or less BR-D "Player"? You are going to pay as much as $140.00 for a working motherboard. Ebay has them listed, but they don't specify PAL...
