Help needed!!

My son received a ps3 console as a gift last xmas that was purchased in Japan. He has been able to play the games with the console no problem however tells me that he cant play the games Ive bought him from the UK. I have been told that the PS3 is not regionally locked so it shouldnt be an issue. Any suggestions would be welcome!! Is there something in settings that he perhaps hasnt done? Thanks you PS3 buffs.

I'm sure they should just work. As far as i know the settings don't need to be changed.

PS3 console does not match format of the games

Ive just spoken to Sony once again. Im really not technically minded at all so its quite funny that this is making any sense at all but it kind of does. Basically my sons ps3 was bought in Japan. I am in UK. Apart from the games bought with the console in Japan when the two games bought from the UK are inserted this comes up "The system software of your ps3 system is verion 1.10. To start you must update to version 1.50 or later. Do you want to update now?" When I press enter it says "No applicable update data was found". The sony rep says its because its a japanese consul - Im so confused because I believed all games would play. He explained its a different format. I believe its NTSC and the games must be PAL. Is there anything I can do? Can I purchase NTSC games from UK? Is there anything I can do to get around this loophole. He told me not to update the system (not that its letting me anyway) as it will corrupt the PS3.Any help would be appreciated.Thank you.
