No. PlayStation 2s are region-coded, so games released in one area (North America) cannot be played on another region's (Europe) consoles without the use of a modchip.
"Yes, the playstation is 'region free' on games. This means American games (region 1) can be played on a UK console (region 2). The playstation is only 'region locked' on movies." This is wrong, PS1 and 2 are not region free on games, for a UK system you must have a PAL formatted disc for it to play, American and canadiam disc and consoles are formatted differently therefor you will not be able to play them. The PS3 however, sony decided to make region free games but it is still region locked on DVD's.
your console can play NZ, AUS and UK but NOT American... i found this out when i bought American games you need a NTSC console or an American console or a mod chip to do this if you dont have one of those you cant play American games
No, PS3s from the Western Hemisphere can only play games sold in the Western Hemisphere. If you try to play a game from the UK on a Playstation 3 in Canada you will receive an error message. This is also true of games bought in Japan, they cannot be played on PS3s from Canada.
Same as you
The first PlayStation console was released in the UK on September 29th 1995.
Yes, Australian games will work on a UK PS3. In fact since the PS3 has no region lock whatsoever, you could even play American and Japanese games on it.

I belive you can I belive you can
I believe all PlayStation 3's are Region free, but maybe not
A US DSi can play UK games
I've purchased American PC games and played them on my computer in the UK and they worked well.
Yes. For whatever reason, Australia and Europe are considered to be in the same region, so regional lockouts do not come into play.
No, European games won't play on an American PS2.
No, the Wii is region locked, even down to Gamecube compatability. A UK Wii can only play UK Gamecube games.
PC games can be compatible, but if it's something like video games for X-Box, PlayStation, etc., then the console would require modification. Like CDs and DVDs, video game discs are coded by region.
