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. |
Actually, almost ALL Japanese games are NOT region free, however, a large portion of English games ARE region free, but that's pointless... since JP X360 isn't cheap at all, in fact it cost as much as a Ps3.
