European PS2 Game on US PS3

Hello,

Had a quick question for which I couldn't find the answer. Basically, I have a US PS3 (one of the older PS2 backwards compatible ones) and the PS2 game I want is only coming out in Europe. I know that in Europe they use PAL for TV display, but my US PS3 is hooked up to a 24" monitor via HDMI. Is there any way that I could buy this PS2 game and have it work on my US PS3 and also successfully display the image on my monitor?

Thanks a bunch,
supac

    looking online it says the PS2 games are still region locked, so i doubt it will work

    No. PS1 games (except for downloaded ones), PS2 games, DVD's and Blu-Ray's are all still region locked. PS3 games are the only ones that aren't.
