I HATE JAPAN

[*~Onna76~*]

Okay here's the deal. I own a PS3 from Japan and I thought the console was freaking region free, so no matter if I would buy the US version of a game, I still get the US version of the game.... NOT. I freaked out this morning, when I dropped the American R&C Future Tools of Destruction disc in the layer and saw... Ratchet with black eyebrows and a freaking ugly, green color suit. OH NO! Not the Japanese Ratchet! I'm used to the original Ratchet ever since Ratchet & Clank came out on the PS2 and then I get to see this, only because I own a Japanese PS3, WTF is up with that?! My PS3 system is in English and I have my US PSN ID on when playing US games.

I read on the Internet that the story background in the Japanese versions is different. I've contacted Insomniac about this, as they said that "in the US version the Japanese ratchet can't be unlocked", well look again my friends. I can get used to this different Ratchet but if the story turns out to be different as well, I'm not even planning to continue the game. If the PS3 system automacilly censures blood, like its done in Uncharted and Oblivion, despite the fact they're US versions, I don't care about, but complete change of characters and story lines is outrageous and therefore they're screwing the entire US version on my PS3 this way. Only because of these stupid updates.

Are there more people out there owning a JP PS3 and playing US R&C as well?
