Hi All, Just a quick question whether anyone knows if PS3 games bought in the states will work in the uk??

yes

Also some blu ray discs too. look around DVDWorldUSA.com and there is an updates list of what works.

Yes they will.

Although the framework of the PS3 allows games to be zoned, it is not being done.

Any PS3 game will work on any PS3 console, regardless of where they were bought.
