Yes for games. All ps3's are region free for games.

yes you can ps3 games are region free but the blu-ray movies are region locked
Yes, PS3's are not region locked
No. Although you can play all ps3 games, ps2 games are still region locked.
PS3 games are not region coded, so you can play Japanese PS3 games on a PS3 from North America or Europe.On the other hand, PS2 and PS1 games are region coded, so you can only play those games (if your PS3 has backwards compt.) on the same region PS3 model.
You can play any games you want from around the world because it is not region locked.
Yes, with the PS3 you can play games from every region in the world - no games are region 'locked'. If you buy a game from Tokyo it will play on your PS3 at home in the UK or wherever you live! So, you can import games from all over the world and you will still be able to play them everywhere in the world!
Well on websites and on the PS3 box itself it says no but when sony slashed the cost of the ps3 the 40gb onwards was not region locked to save money so yes you can play region 1,3,4 games on region 2 ps3 (unless its 60gb)
Yes PlayStation 1 and 2 are region locked. This means if you have an American PS2 (or 1) you can only play American games, no European, Japanese, etc. The PS3 and PSP , on the other hand, are region free, this means if you have a European ps3 or psp, you can buy games from japan (if you want) and it will work.
Yes, all PS3 games from different regions will work on any PS3, because it is not region locked. However, you cannot play PS2 or PS1 games from a different region.
yes because ps3 has no region locked blue ray disc games. you can play any games on any ps3 platform with any of these regions without hassles (R1, R2, R3 or R4). The problems with the games come from PAL versus NTSC, but both Australia and New Zealand are in 4 PAL DVD region. While PS3 Blue Ray games are not region locked they still can not play Blue Ray Region A (NTSC) in Region B (PAL) because of the SDTV Region of PAL and NTSC and the different TV systems
No due to region locks on the console. This is also the case with the Wii, however the PS3 is not region locked
No, the games are region locked. Like the games I bought in the US have the number 1 on the side, so your PS3 would have to be region code 1.This answer is infact, wrong. The PS3 is region free. Meaning games from all around the world can be played on it. The only things which wont work on your ps3 because of a region lock are PS1 games, PS2 games and Blu-ray films.Sources: I have been abroad numerous times and bought PS3 games. They have all worked.
