Strange move by ATLUS, Persona 4 Arena becomes first Region Locked PS3 game

[Lusche]

PS3 region free was never a reason to get the console, for me at least ...
Its the games on it and maybe free online.

And its only like 1 week wait for the US to get the game anyway and it also has dual audio/text for the nerds who wants jp voices/texts, so I dont see any problems with it.
