I have been looking for an answer to this question but haven't been able to find it ....

Most of you probably don't know this but games are released in different regions. Some are released in PAL (EU, AU), soms in NTSC (US & JAP) and some are so called Region Free. Sometimes I prefer to order the 'Region Free' ones because they are cheaper to buy eventhough it takes longer to receive. (due to international shipping).

Here's my question: Why doesn't EA release 'Region Free' games for the Xbox 360 where it does release them for the PS3?

Is it because there's some agreement on it? (= they are getting paid for it?) Or is there some other reason for it?

Just so you know, a lot of big publisher release 'Region Free' games like Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, etc, etc..
