Yes it can. Just like a Japanese PS2 controller can be used on a North American PS2. The controller just uses bluetooth to connect to the PS3, there is no "region bluetooth" or anything like that.
Question aside; This controller is amazingly light. I honestly didn't think it were possible to get any ...[§ó¦h...]

DIY SIXAXIS I don't use the virbration at all, always switch it off, so I was not happy with the extra weight of the DualShock. But I unscrewed the controller open, and just cut the wires of the 2 vibrating motors, bingo! My DS is now a SIXAXIS. Those wires won't affect the controller at all.

Don't get me wrong I love the ps3 and I love the shape of sony's controllers. But the six-axis controller is horrible. no rumble, too light, and feels like a toy compared to the dualshock controllers. If you want PS3 controllers, order a Dualshock 3 controller from Japan. Comes in white or black, and has DIRECTIONAL rumble and keeps the six-axis.

PC Usage Yes, it can be used on a pc using certain drivers available on the net. I would post a link but im not sure of Play-Asia's link policies. Ill be buying these in anticipation for the EU launch, and for use on my PC. The sixaxis tilt sensors dont work just yet on a PC though.

Question aside; This controller is amazingly light. I honestly didn't think it were possible to get any lighter than the Dualshock 2 but apparently it's possible...go figure. Buttons are the usual PS design and the "PS Button" is cool as well. You can turn off the system, check battery life, and access the menu from it. Really cool.
