I know the PSP isn't region locked, only the movies are... So the PS3 shouldn't be, maybe only the Blue Ray Movies are.

PS1 and PS2 games are still region locked. However most if not all PS3 games are region free.

All blu ray ps3 games are region free, all blu ray movies are region locked. I've heard unconfirmed reports saying that some Blu Ray games rely on the data provided on the disk while some rely on your account information, so there is a slight chance you'll end up playing against people from different regions.
