PS3 is region locked unfortunately, same with Blu-Ray. @_@
That’s a pity. Honestly, I don’t get region-locking. Rather I mean, yes I understand the reasoning behind it, but it really just cuts off a whole potential market for very little benefit, and in the end only encourages piracy (with potential customers thinking, “I would love to buy the DVD’s of this anime/drama/movie, but it is unavailable in the West so I will just download it”).
Heh, don’t mind me, I’m just ranting “out loud”. Oh well, at least the DS and PS3′s games are still region-free.
I’ll have to get this VLC thing then. Hopefully the video quality doesn’t suffer.
I agree Giga. Who are they to tell us where we want to buy stuff from? As it so happens, Asian movies have better editions in Asia than NA and Europe. You’d think they’d abandon this practice to help stop piracy, but it only makes people do it more.
Sony make the PS3 region free for games but not for blu-rays. I don’t see the logic behind that either.
