Is there any way for me to adapt my UK PS3 and Wii to play US games?

Sorry, but that's not true, the Wii is not and never has been region free, even for first-party games. There's the Freeloader disc that did let you play imports, but I think that's now been blocked by a firmware update to the Wii. I'm not sure if any of the hacks out there let you play different region stuff, but it might be worth having a look.

PS3 is region free for games though so you're good to go there Desmo. If you want to play online though, I believe some games will only let you play against othere people with the same region version of the game as what you have.
No way of playing different region Blu-Ray's unfortunately. This site lists the region-free discs though, so you might be able to import some at least.
