I dont think so. Because PS2 games that work on PS3 Hongkong is Region NTSC-J. I am quite sure that Australia PS2 games is PAL, right? But if you have PS2 games that has NTSC-J, u can play it. or simply dont sell your old PS2 console. I bet u already knew the answer since u have already bought it, haven't u? :) Have a nice time with your new PS3! And add my PSN id: squall_edd -est-

Any Ps3 game should work on the ps3 because it is region free. But the ps3 has backwards computability issues, so not all or any ps1 or ps2 games will work. Still it looks like Sony has a lot of problems to fix out of that over heating piece of hardware. The link below will explain more to you. glancing at the chart under "Retail Configurations" it should be fine because it will use an emulation software to run it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3
