Aeana said:The eternal pessimist that I am refuses to believe for 100% certain until someone actually runs software from another region on it, but this is certainly good news either way.
Bel Marduk said:Non-region free is retarded, plain and simple. Good to see at least one company keeping up with good standards.
Somewhat off topic but there's a moron over at GameFAQs who actually wants MORE restrictive region free policies. Anti-consumerism, fuck yeah!

thank god for flashcarts on the 3DS
Leona Lewis said:I hope the 3DS revision is region-free. I travel all the time and loved buying PSP/DS games from any region without worry. My first imported game was Guilty Gear XX Reload: Midnight Carnival for PSP, so good.
Who's importing a Vita now? It'd make a nice Christmas present

Ask him about multiple accounts! You are the chosen one, my son.Angry Fork said:THAT WAS ME! rofl.
twitter gaf, add me! I have no twitter friends =( I mainly signed up for updates from other people.
And theres the downside. On Nintendo stuff you can use your regions card*...but you need to import the hardware. On PSN platforms these days isn't you have to import pre-paid cards which last I looked has you ending up paying $60 for $50 (if you're lucky...). Is it too much to ask for region free and a direct way to buy virtual money?Wario64 said:Either way, digital downloading will make importing fuck-tons cheaper than it normally is. As long as you can find a way to pay for the games... (which shouldn't be too big a problem with PSN cards)

Why does it 'have to be for BC reasons'?Nuclear Muffin said:If it's like any other Sony console (and it will be. Has to be for BC reasons), you'll be able to use any region account on any region console.
Yes, you can. That doesn't mean you can on PSV though.Foffy said:Can't you access PSN without issue on PS3, regardless of the region of your system and the region your account is registered to?
Kyoufu said:Pretty sure it'll cost like 500 dollars to import lol. Import sites like Play-Asia/YesAsia/NCSX mark that stuff up a lot

Grinchy said:Exactly what group am I in when you say "you guys?"
If I worked for Sony or if I were invested in Sony's stock, I would have more of an opinion on what the price should be for Sony to be profitable. Since I'm just a regular guy who takes on the role of consumer from time to time, I want the products I'm interested in to be as cheap as possible so I can keep more of the money that I earned. I hope that clears it up.
Yeah, only thing it needs BC with is the PSP... which doesn't support multiple accounts properly.StuBurns said:Why does it 'have to be for BC reasons'?
Not likely to be before Christmas, Feb/March seems to be the most frequent guess.subversus said:When is it out in Europe??? Might get instead of 360 on Christmas.

I do speak Japanese. Not importing the system, but games are a huge concern for me so I'm really glad I don't have to buy two systems like I most likely will have to do with the 3DS eventually.duffyside said:For the people who are now considering importing; do you all speak Japanese?

Edit: Great news. I'm almost alone on this limb, but I think the Vita is going to be a success. The only trend that's going to continue is the one where the press is wrong about everything.
