just bumping this thread in light of motorstorm rc today, i mean it's only ten bucks, and i went and brought the game anyways ..but it'll suck if this becomes a big trend and other regions miss out on deals like this often.
i guess in saying that i can't complain, i did get wipeout for free after all ..so thats not so bad ..but yeh ..region locking sucks in general.
so anyways ... using one memory card, you CAN, restore, download off another region, restore back to yr main account and play demo's just fine ... but i guess with paid for "full games" that wont work. it basically prompts me that i can't play this under an account that wasn't the one that downloaded it.
i guess that's basically the total opposite to the way it orig worked on ps3 ... where game's weren't tied to accounts, and you had "game sharing " threads all over the place...
i get it when it comes to localisation etc, region's specific content related laws etc ... but yeh ... does blow ... i guess it comes down to the game publishers in this case though, enforcing profile lock downs on full content vs demos ..
