Currently, all consoles restrict gamers from playing titles released for regions other than the machine's home territory. However, reports from Japan show the first buds of hope for relaxed region-encoding restrictions in the form of the Playstation 3's new Blu-Ray format. Apparently, Japan and the rest of Asia will now be bracketed in the same region as North and South America, whilst leaving the Europeans as the regional outcasts along with Africa.

Unregistered - lol 01.03.2006 09:45 Yea right, like anything that has to do with Sony wouldn't have extreme security measures and spyware on it. Why would they suddenly change their policy while they've been spending millions on the newest CD/DVD protection tech. If we leave it up to Sony no one will be able to copy discs anymore, yet they do help decide to use fewer region codes? LOL, this is complete bs. 5 -

does this mean import gaming possible?Unregistered - Akakage 01.03.2006 12:55 Ish my mind playing tricks on me..or does this possibly mean that import games from japan are now possible on PS3 without having to buy an import system?? That's AMAZING if it ish true. Means I can get all the cool games from japan that never makes it to America. Once can only dream..lolz. Sucks for you guys in Europe though...sorry for ya. 8 -
PAUL CERULA 01.03.2006 14:09 No this is typical. Sony only cares about the bulk of the market. America and Japan. Europe is still big but not big enough and too much of a hassle. 9 -
To PAUL CERULA Dev1032 01.04.2006 09:25 What do you mean by too much of a hassle, and BTW Europe is the largest territory for games. This region codeing thing sound to me like a similtaniious US and Japan launch, while Europe has to wait, due to implementing all the different languages into the console's user interface. 10 -
Unregistered - #9 01.04.2006 10:08 Do not expect anything like that, Sony will not turn around and suddenly have a multi-region launch. Japan will def. come first, though I doubt we will have to wait 4-6 months. Probably closer to 2-4. 11 -
To # 10Dev1032 01.05.2006 01:50 Why will Japan come first? PSP was launched in US first, I am sticking with what I said a similtanious US and Japan launch, with there being no region locking on games. 12 -
smartUnregistered - bby 01.06.2006 16:52 not having region coding is actually a smart move. the only reason i have a modded ps2 is so i can play my asian 2d fighters that never make it to america. by having no region coding i could import my games without modding the system. they did the same thing with the psp, im play guilty gear x2 on it. no region coding=happy bby. peace 13 -
#11Unregistered - Whoa 01.08.2006 19:21 Are you insane? Or just that ignorant as it seems? You actually think Sony wouldn't launch their console in Japan first? And wtf, PSP launched in US first? LOL! No it didn't you moron, Japan was MONTHS ahead of the US. 14 -
