Hey Hey, calm down guys. We don't know if the Xbone is region free or not.

SCEI PR: PS4 is not region locked
- Thread starter Wario64
- Start date
It probably helps that most of us are paying for the pile of free games as it is, so it's more of a principle thing than an actual inconvenience for us. Plus the Gaikai functionality may (unfortunately) justify it, streaming my streams of games in progress is going to eat into bandwidth more than the game themselves likely could, and I think we'd rather the PS4 menus avoid becoming ad minefields.

If I'm not mistaken, there was acutally a report a few days ago that it was not.

Why would it be region free if no one in Japan will buy it?

Oh Snap! ...
Back on topic, this is perfect for me. At the moment I live in China and if I want to go back home I don't have to sell my new console .. sigh
I'm so happy right now. I hope this IS 100% true

Going on past experience they've probably invented more regions to lock and there'll be a region monitoring device built that checks satellites and stops working if you're 1 mile outside your region.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Where have you been?! What's your opinion about XV and KH3? Sorry if I missed it!

This I expected, since the PS3 has been the only console in forever not to be (fully) region locked, still great news!

It keeps getting better and better!
The official twitter account for Playstation in Japan said those would be announced at an ulterior date.
I'm really starting to think they won't launch it this year here...

YES YES YES!
Maybe in the Tokyo Game Show. I have to go to Tokyo at the end os December and it would be amazing to buy the PS4 for (let's say) 39.900Y = 300 right now.
At the current convertion rates that would be 100 cheaper than Europe XD

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Apparently with Amazon US of A you can. Since I did a PO and it allowed for international shipping. Not too bad too seeing how it just added around 20-30 to the shipping cost.
Was really surprised by this, as usually things like this are cockblocked.
