Are Blu-ray movies region free or zoned like DVDs?

I would like to order some Blu-Ray movies to play on my PS3, but would like to know if they are also divided into zones like DVDs are? ie Can I order from US and play it in South Africa on my PS3?
 
Ok, but is a PS3 region locked or not? Will region locked discs play on my PS3?

PS3 is region locked. So region locked discs won't play.

Refer to the site I linked you to and check if the actual disc is region free or not, if it is, then you can buy it.

The majority of my Blu-rays come from the US and all of them are region free, but I checked the listing on the site beforehand.

As far as I know the Region coding only applies to BR movies and DVD's. Not to games. My God of War Collection is Region A/1 and works fine. But my region 1 DVDs dont.

Anyone have further details on this?
 
Games are region free.
Blu-ray's (as in the media variety, movie, music, etc) are generally region coded. However a lot of Blu-ray media discs are multi-region. Once again, refer to the link I posted. It's a pretty good reference.
