Well it has a universal power supply and the games are region free so no worries there. However, if DVD's and Blu-Rays in Australia use a different region code to those in Hong Kong then they ain't going to work.

hey mate all games will work like said above blu-ray movies are in fact region coded, but some of them (mostly sony) arn't use this site to tell

so if you buy a ps3 from hong kong most australian moves blu ray and dvd wont play on it.

Your welcome mate, done a search on google and came across these for you-

Blu-Ray region coding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc), you'll have to scroll down a little to find the map on this one.

DVD region coding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_codes), the map is right at the top of this page.

Hope this answers your question about DVDs and Blu-Rays a little better, there a quite a few region free ones which will work in any region.
