Modding a PS3

[RCM]

I really want to play my PS2 imports in 720P but can't because of the region lock on PS3. Does anyone know of a way to mod the PS3 (without "gutting" it) so I can play my Japanese software? Thanks to all

I thought you could use an Action Replay on them same as a PS2?

Would that allow me to play PS imports also? Thanks
