Wii - I don't know. This is not the Nintendo section. Xbox 360 - I don't know. This is not the Xbox section. PS3 - It depends on your TV setup. It will work if you are using HDMI on HDTV. If you aren't, then you have to deal with the NTSC (USA) and PAL (Saudi Arabia) Standard Definition resolution differences. Your TV would need to be capable of displaying NTSC resolution or you would need a NTSC to PAL converter. As for the games, well, the same issue applies. They would have to be developed to work on an NTSC console. A lot of them are, but there are some that aren't, like Grand Theft Auto IV, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. Some people may be quick to say yes and say how the games being region free is the reason why, but being region free does not fix PAL and NTSC compatibility.

I don't know about the tv, though i assume so because my sister took her wii from to the US to Japan and it works on their tvs. As for the games, they are all region specific. If you'll want to play new games, you will need to order them online and have them shipped to you.
