5 seconds of typing "PS3 region lock" into Google produced the following
information:-

"Is the Playstation 3 region-free?
Yes. Sony has stated that 1st party Playstation 3 games will be region-free,
but Blu-Ray movies will still feature a region-lock. Third party game
publishers can use their own discretion and decide whether or not they want
to include region-coding in their game releases. "

Incidentally, a Samsung Blu-Ray disc player owning friend in the US is
miffed
that he is unable to play Blu-Ray disc movie titles imported from other
parts of the world like he can with his Toshiba HD-DVD player.
