available at launch, the availability of incoming USA PS3 games in the next
few days will be a welcome addition to the fledgling software library.
Please note however that PS1 and PS2 games are region-coded - USA PS1 and
USA PS2 games are not recognized by a Japanese PS3 and will not boot. "

although it's a good news, i wouldn't jump to the conclusion already that PS3 will be region free
