I'm picking up a PS3 on friday and i was just wondering if PS3 games are region free i.e can i import games that are released earlier in the states and Japan? I live in australia and games can be delayed for upto 4 months after being released in the states. I want to import assasins creed seeing as it comes out in november in the U.S while we in aussie will probably get it sometime next year. Oh and lastly what games would u recommend i pick up when i buy it? I'm already getting nba 2k7 and nba street homecourt on friday, then i'll pick up diRT when it's launched sptember 1st.....any other recommendations?? Cheers

im pretty sure that PS3 games are region free. Thats why multiple languages are included for all the games that release in multiple countries.

Its like thePSP, games are region free, but movies aren't.
