| errorrrr said: HOW COME NO ONE MENTIONS THE FACT THAT BECAUSE OF BLU-RAY, PS 3's games are
REGION FREE
You do know that REGION FREE is a god-send for international gamers right?? Who care if some game doesn't release in your region now? The system is region free! Not to mention how EASY it is on the PS3 to get DLC for OTHER region as well... |
Maybe they don't talk about it because games being region free has absolutely nothing to do with Blu-Ray? A large portion of XBox 360 games are region free even though they are only released on DVD ... From my understanding, the reason why so many games can be region free in this generation is because High Definition TV resolutions and framerates are standards around the world and games don't need to be tweeked to play well in different regions. Being that most of the region locked games on the XBox 360 seem to be smaller games from smaller studios, I would suspect the reason they are region locked is because the game wasn't submitted (or failed) for testing against standard definition output in the other region and they were locked to prevent them from causing problems for players in other regions.
