I just bought a playstation 3

Anyone know if the PS3 is region free for DVD's, want to buy a DVD from the US but it is region 1 and not sure it will work in the UK.

Unfortunately i believe i read somwhere that Movies (Blue Ray and DVD) are region locked, however PS3 games are not.
 
DVDs are region locked.

Blu-ray's are region coded, but many US titles will play on UK players. This is a great site to check out which US Blu-ray discs play in UK machines:

PS3 games are not region coded, so will play anywhere
