360, Wii and PS3, Region specific?

[tomanders91]

Can anyone tell me if the 360, wii and the ps3 are region specific or not (meaning they can only play certain games from certain places, PAL, NTCS or whatever)

thanks

For the 360 it varies, there's big tables of games that may or may not work on the console. The Wii is definitely region encoded, the PS3, all games are region free, however the Blu-Ray drive for Blu-Ray movies is region locked.
