Yeah. Region locking is pretty much optional on Blu-Rays. I think it's up to the studios to lock it or not, but it's certainly not as common as DVD region locking was/is |
Hopefully S-E won't go region blocking this release, it would really be a shame, since they could get a lot of sales with imports and japanese sales.
DVD region locking was one of the main reasons it was pirated so much from the beginning, it spawned a massive surge of modded consoles and pirate DVD region free programs for PC, so i think it was a smart move to allow a more region free medium such as BD
