Re: Is the ps3 region free?
Why do people even bother to post in this thread if they don't know? Way to spread false info, guys... 
As an owner of a Japanese PS3 with NTSC-J, NTSC-US, NTSC-Asia (which is actually -J) and PAL, I can say with 100% certainty that PS3 games are definitely region-free, as some others in this thread have said (while some idiots here have said that opposite). Also, as has been said, I can personally confirm that it's ONLY PS3 games that are region-free on the PS3. Blu-Ray movies (not including PS3 games), DVD, PS2 and PS1 media is NOT region free. PSN games ARE region free. Downloadable add-on content is NOT ALWAYS region free (some is, some isn't. The downloadable content for Fallout 3, for example, is not region-free. Ridge Racer 7 downloadables are. It depends on the game.).
For the OP... was it really too much trouble to do a google search? I mean, I appreciate that you wanted an answer to this question, but this is a VERY easy question to find an answer to. As for your second question, of course there are a few good imports. What sort of games are you into?

Though advertised as such, waste of limited run time on lead free solder consoles for movies.
Buy the cheap dedicated DVD - Blueray player for watching your movies, especially the not so pristine rentals.
