you can find the info all over the internet [click me now] that says blu-ray will define new regions. Japan and the US will be in the same region. does anyone know if the ps3 will then also be able to read the ps2 japan region games? or will we still have to mod or get a modded ps2 in order to play them. i'd love to be able to play ps2 games from japan on my ps3. that would be worth it's price right there.

It should be since we have the same region code.  I'm confused as to whether we can play Japanese DVD's and CD's though.

America and Japan use the SAME region encoding on the PSP (at least) so probably.

No. A US PS3 will not allow you to play Japanese PS2 games since they have different region codes. PS3 games however are a different story.
