Yes, The ps3 is region free for games. however it will not play pal dvds

EDIT: I also read that the PS3 can play pal games, but the TV will only display it if using and HDMI connection.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout probably not
Quote:
Additionally, some games separate online players per region, such as Metal Gear Solid 4 Online. A PSN store only contains content for its own country, for example the UK store will not supply you with usable map packs for your Imported US copy of Call of Duty 4. The PS3 actually supports hardware region locking for PS3 games as well, based on Blu-Ray regions[3], but as of current it is unused and all current region lockouts and separations are about online services.

I have an Australian Region PS3 and get the vast majority of my games from teh US due to cost. They work a treat, BluRay DVDs however, sadly do not.
