It's not true. Region locking on games was already there as an option for developers since day one. So far only 2 games got region locked. Like that also want to panic?

Also, don't believe in any source that comes from hacking websites. The only people that have any reason to panic about region locking are the morons who use jailbreak.

thing is, this type of bs always happens,and people always get worked up for no reason.

and as always, they'll skip the facts and straight away play the blaming game.

speaking of facts, here are a couple:

1)we dont know what the(supposed) region lock inserted together with the firmware does.
is it for games?or for apps?or both?or neither?! hell,is there even such a thing to begin with?cos this is the first time i've heard of it. blush.gif
whatever it is,the screenshot they showed certainly is from an APP.
so if they region lock an app like netflix,what's the harm?
it's not like we're ever gonna get it,as it's US ONLY.

2)websites need hits-sensationalising something is bound to generate hits. this is one good example. skewer the facts and take advantage of gullible people.-instant traffic

Mathieulh is wrong, this is not new. Just like with PSP, PS3 publishers have always had the ability to region lock their games; they never did. This is not a new feature, it has existed since the first ps3 firmware. There is nothing to suggest that they are about to start using it now; they would only give additional justification and incentive to hackers.

Excerpt from from the SCEE PS3 FAQ: "PLAYSTATION 3 software is not restricted by region. The majority of games purchased in another country will work on any PLAYSTATION 3 system. However, the decision to make games region specific is made by the publisher of each title and as a result, some games may not work on a PLAYSTATION 3 system purchased in a different country."

If this happens, I hope that this only applies to new games only. Otherwise, my collection of R1 and R2 games become paperweight overnight
