Can the PS3 play other region movies?

I'm sorry but it cannot. If you bought your PS3 in the US, you can only play DVD and Blu-ray movies that are from this region (region 1 for DVD and A for Blu-ray). What I suggest you do (this is what I do) is download Shrink DVD (freeware..just google it), make a backup of you DVD movie (Shrink DVD automatically removes the region protection) and burn it. Then you can play the copy on your PS3. Hope this helps...

Should you buy DVD plus r or DVD -r?

DVD-R and DVD+R are actually different formats developed by different organizations. DVD-R is the older of the two, and are better for burning DVD movies to play on your home DVD player. Alot of older DVD players do not support DVD+R type discs so burning your movies using DVD-R will make sure your movies work. DVD+R Have better performance in newer DVD drives, and is usually better for data backup and archiving.
