Yes, it plays US PS3 games as well as US blu-ray movies. This rare discontinued Japanese 20gb Playstation 3 bundle is a must have to collectors of anything Playstation. It comes equipped with 2 used controllers, an official Sony Playstation 3 bluetooth headset, a series of games already downloaded on the system, a Tekken 6 arcade stick, power cables, and component cables. All of this is bundled together into this one auction. Once again,

PS3 games are region free so that makes sense.. but blu rays even? I wonder with PS2/PS1 games..

They changed the regions for blurays from dvds. Now the US and Japan are in the same region.

A JP PS3 won't play US PS2 games. That's why I can't play Thunder Force VI over HDMI on my US PS3.

What? Thunder Force VI is a Japanese PS2 game. Your JP PS3 should play it fine

Or, is that backwards?

I should've clarified that I was using a US PS3.

ANY US/JP Blu rays
ANY US/JP PS3 Games

Yes and no. Not all JP PS3s can run PS2 games. Just the early models.

Note that JP PS3s cannot run the new Netflix app. Yeah, I was pissed. My streaming disc expires in a couple of weeks and there goes netflix for my JP PS3. I have a US PS3, too, but that's all the way out in the friggan living room. Getting up sucks!

Nice. I'm gonna have to sell my PS3 and get a JP one then..

I wonder if PS3 arcade sticks (SF4 TE STICK) will work with PS2 and PS1 games on the PS3.. hmm
