UGH.........I here by Dub the Gamecube most import friendly console ever

Can but never will.

There are no region locked ps3 games out there and never will be.

 

Never say never again. I have seen incredibly dumb decisions in the gaming industry before.

 

Still. This is akin to fearing MS will sell your credit card number to a company in china. It's just not going to happen.

Hell i'll check the PS3 sdk my self today to even see if it's even possible on the current version. I'm pretty sure it's not.

 

And at this point I advise all of you to read carefully before hitting the A-button. 4 runs through Resident Evil 4 & almost completed savestates of Super Mario Sunshine & Zelda TWW... not to mention 150hrs of Ikaruga. Oh dear... :clap:

 

well, the day my ps3 refuses to run a ps3 game because of region, i will be carrying my ps3 to sony's office and refuse to leave until they return me the money i paid from it -_-

the already stole my linux, spammed a damn facebook on my XMB, and i don't even want to know what else they can come up with.

if they remove the region free-ness, and make me unable to use 80% of my games, someone is going to die.

 

and here I was about to insult the creator of this thread and it turns out to have been me.

 

:lol:

:lol: Awesome

 

You are right. Now i need to learn Kanji so I can play these games.

 

while reading this thread, I almost replied with a video of my GC region switch and a little bit about how the freeloader doesn't work as well.

then I saw my post from 3 years ago and realized how old this thread is lol

 

im sorry, but....

I've been following it all day. Few things to note

1. They don't say what software they are running. A user on neogaf found out it's 90% likely the Netflix Disc (not a game)
2. They said games with FW 3.50 yet if you look at one of the message it gives. It complains that the system FW is less then 330 (aka 3.30).

So nothing adds up.

 

hoping that what you said is true, but who knows really.
i know that the assembler marketplace will get 2x 60gb PAL backwards compatible launch units if region locks are implemented though..

 

Why is region locking such a big deal, anyway? There was a thread a while ago where several members said there weren't many Japan-only games worth getting. Are there a lot of games that come out in the US but not Europe?

 

In my experience, There have been some games that i really wanted to play but weren't available in the US. Also some used game stores will have US titles at one price and JAP titles at another. I would rather pay $5 to play a game then the $20 US version.

 

IMO..

1. Cheaper games
2. People originally bought a Ps3 from region X but now live in Region Y (like bought from us but now live in the UK, for example).
3. They are idiots on a message board with nothing better to do then bitch

 

You're saying Japanese games are cheaper? I would expect that they'd be more expensive.

 

No I mean like someone might find a USA game cheaper.

Like when I got a 360 at launch, I actually got a JPN unit because USA games released in HK where MUCH MUCH cheaper then buying locally. Plus I knew games would not sell and would drop in prices on import sites.

 

Some times they are. Some used game shops want to get rid of their Japanese games.
