I've read here the Xbox 360 is NOT. What about the other two? Nintendo said it would be but I've also read it's not. How about the PS3?

In short, can a sytstem bought here work in Canada or the US? Also will North American games work in a system bought here? Will the games be available here in Englishee?

The PS3 has no region code.
The Xbox 360 does have region codes.
Wii does have region codes.

PS2 games will still be region coded.

Blue-ray movies are also region-coded
The following is the Blue-ray region code list:

Region 1: North America, South America, East Asia except for China (India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia etc.)
Region 2: Europe and Africa
Region 3: China, Russia and other countries

This is for movies only!

Most first party 360 games such as Gears of War and all Ubisoft games do not have region-coding. It is entirely optional for each publisher on the 360. You can check on the internet for which games are locked and which are not.
