I don't know where you got the info that blu-ray players are region free but that is not the case.
Sure there are some companies that say they can make your player region free but I haven't heard anything that can verify it.
If you want a region A player you will need to buy one in the US or if you need a region B player then Europe is the place to be.
HD-DVD player are region free by the way.

PS3 Games: Depends on the Publisher (but thus far they've all or mostly been region free).

Here's a list of the region free/coded Blu-Ray discs for Region B (assuming you're in the U.S.). There is also Region A info if you're outside the U.S.

HD DVD - Region free
BluRay - has 3 regions (A,B,C)
PS3 - has 3 regions for Bluray, the games are region locked for the PS1/PS2, didn't know there was any region coding for PS3 games (didn't think the option was available) but all I've tried so far have been region free.
