PS3 is region free for PS3 games "ONLY", keep that in mind! So if you're buying a PS3 with backward compatibility you're only able to play American PS2 / PS games on your PS3. Not sure about the Blu Ray region in the US but I do know the DVD region in the US is region "1" so you can't play European / Japanese DVD's on a US PS3.
Despite the fact the PS3 games are region free, some stuff will be censured by the hardware. I don't think this will ever happen with the US PS3, depending on what's acceptable when it comes to Japanese games, but I know Uncharted for instance, all the blood is being censured via the Japanese PS3.
