Is a japanese PS3 completely fine to be played in the UK?

[pork]

I'm from the UK and my dad is going over to Japan next week. I'm interesting in getting a PS3 and he says that if i give him the money he'll nab me a PS3.

my two main questions are:

a) How much in pounds will it come up to?

b) Is it completely region free? Will i have to buy any extras to play it in the UK e.g power adapaters?

thankyou!

Im not sure how much it will cos but ya i found this website and it said it is region free for games,but its not for blu-ray movies, but then maybe you'll have to buy UK power adapters.
