Personally I don't like the concept but I suppose it won't be that bad to me as I'm interested in both the movie and the game and I've yet to try either.

PS3 isn't region free. It has regions normaly BUT all games released are made as region free unfortunatly most movies are region blocked.

So I;m afraid if someone imports it he will have not working movie with working demo unless he has japanise console or BR player.

 

unless you import the ps3 bundle or have japanese ps3.

People who lives in America should be able to play BD imported from Japan.

Unfortunately, Square Enix has no choice to follow the trend. Paying for cheat codes a la EA started it, and as recently as pre-ordering to play the demo of killzone 2.

Blu-ray region coding sucks, why change the regions DVD used?

To make Europe suffer, of course. Is that a surprise? Could affect some other areas, too (Australia would be my guess). Anyway, DVD regions were better (Europe and Japan in the same region, now it's North America and Japan in the same region).

Oh, and BD regions are pretty insulting too; it's pretty annoying to get in the same region with something like Africa despite being on a completely different level in pretty much everything.
