A US PS3 won't play UK Blu-ray discs, just US and Japanese ones.
A US PS3 can only play USA/ Canadian PS1/2 games.
A US PS3 can play any PS3 game from around the world.

Ok cool, so i'm right in thinking that if I buy one from the US when I go over there in June I will be able to buy UK games and play them?!

Also i'd imagine they will be chippable to play *cough* backup games *cough* soon won't they?!

What are Blu-Ray discs??!!

All PS3's can play any PS3 game. Sony actually realised that region coding encourages privacy.

Shame the stupid thick cunts don't see the same for the older games and Blue-Ray movies.

I am sure a mod chip will appear and someone will make a stack of cash from it.

rlue ray is what it says,... a blue ray,...

instead of a normal red ray which reads current dvd s..

the blue ray can read much much finer details on the disc, which in turn means you can fit a lot lot more on a disc...
