I want to buy the 80gb Hong Kong (NTSC-J) ps3 and use it in Australia, however it won't play PAL content (In particular my old ps2 games). Is there a system update for the ps3 up until this point that allows this NTSC-J console to play PAL content?
AND/OR
Does this update allow for DVD's of region 4 (Australia) to play on this region 3 ps3? and also Blu-rays of region B (Australia) to play on this region A ps3?
If not, does anyone know if/when an update such as this would be released?

No. PAL PS1/2 games and movies won't run on NTSC J or NTSC U/C PS3. PS3 games are region free (unless developer locks this function, but I haven't seen anything like that).

No, PS2 games and DVD movies are region locked. PS3 games are not though.
