Olly C Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 If you get a JAP one it may be region free-ish, nobody really knows yet, Sony said it was region free, the Sony rep that comes to our store said it definately locked but the publishers of the games have the choice to do it or not. Movies are all region locked as usual. Games, maybe no real answer yet until the UK games come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I had a JAP psp console and i had 1 JAP game and 2 US games and they all worked equally as well as each other, no problems. I would also think the UMD movies are region free but i don't know for sure, the games deffinatly are from my experience. Almost all articles and press releases say that are completely reagion free so surley that would include the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I heard you can change the lanuage of the psp so if its region free it doesnt matter where you get it from as you can switc it to the engish language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The enchanted broomstick Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 i dont think the region has anything to do with the language, its the format of the games that can be used on it like some stupid dvd's wont play on certain dvd players because of this region crap. get rid of all the incomaptibility issues i say! stu (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say have global releases (and globally similar prices, not paying twice as much as the yanks (Y) ) and region free stuff. That will stop pre release pirating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
