I believe its region free and you'll be able to play online ok too (someone correct me if i am wrong)
I have read somewhere that backward compatibility is NOT region free.

Yep region free for games
I only buy from the US though as they are so cheap right now -all work fine on my European PS3.
Also online is fine, its the account you create that is localised not the PS3 as such. I have created 3 accounts for UK/US/Hong kong so can get downloads etc from all major regions.

cool thanks, im temptedto buy a ps3 fo around £200. at least it works and is more reliable then a 360. is the blu ray movies region locked?
PS3 games are region free, PS2/1, DVD and Blu-ray are region locked.
Not sure about the refresh rate with PAL/NTSC.
have to agree with your sentiment on reliability from my personal experience as well.
Yep, blu ray movies are locked generally - but there are allot that are region free and work fine on my Euro PS3, if you go here http://www.movietyme.com/catalog/def...3f05&cPath=355
there are 164 blu-ray region free discs - new release prices starting from £12.99 inc deliv. Bargain
Yeah not sure on sd someone else might know? but yeah on HD all is good.
