Actually... how does Home become Region Lock first? I mean, if say we use a US PSN account... would it affect? Or would it be like 360... based upon IP address... just like the download maps of Gears? |

QUOTE That new Sony video download service sure looks neat! I wouldn't know, though. Not American, you see. Seems I might not know for a while yet, either, with Sony's David Reeves announcing that PAL territories won't be downloading movies on their PS3s in 2008. "This will not come to the PAL markets this year, but Sir Howard Stringer has made the commitment that non-games will come to all regions in due course and it will. The dates for video content will come later this year. For us, and I think you appreciate most of you European, that local content is important, and that's what working on right now." A shame, but not a surprise, given the legal issues Microsoft faced with their service (which, incidentally, Australia still doesn't have). QUOTE So this morning, I get up, I finally get around to installing 2.41, and I sign into my US PSN account to see if I can access the new video store. Predictably, being in Australia and all, I can't. Unlike "regular" PSN stuff, Sony's region-lock controls are in full effect. It's hardly surprising (as the 360 video service is also a global mess), and isn't even the first time this has happened on the PSN (the Uncharted demo was also region-locked), but I'm sure some people out there (ie Europeans) will be wondering about this, so there you go. Atleast their getting it! This post has been edited by almattitude_v1: Jul 17 2008, 06:55 PM |

Home's region locked...... wow, great way to screw everyone over.
That means, if they are stickign to the propriatery region lock, we Malaysians we be able to use Home at all. Screwed indeed. Lets hope it is only partial region lock(like MGO). |

If HOME is region locked...we all bombard the PS official forums, official blog and emails and also make a petition...so sony opens it all...I don't see why they would region locked game stuff unless we are talking about the movie pavilion since movies have licenses to think about...but if there are only trailers on HOME I don't see any point for them to region lock....

Their reason to lock Home is because of adverts, mostly that is.
They said an European advert wouldn't make sense to Americans, and the same way around as well. Lame excuse IMO. I know they need adverts to support the service since Home will be free to all. But using that as an excuse? Jeez.... What about people who doesn't even have official support from Sony yet? Like us.... for example. We don't even have a PSN store to begin with, heck PS3s aren't even selling officially here. |

That means, unless we have any sort of Sony support here for the PS3(which currently, theres still no official launch and a dedicated PSN store) in Malaysia, Home won't even be accesible to us to begin with let alone use it. Tell me if thats not a problem. |

The apartment is still open isn't it?so far reports suggest region locking in PUBLIC AREAS. i've not seen anything about region locking the ENTIRE home. Still.... it takes out alot of the experience of Home. Cuztomizing your apartment can only be so fun until it gets boring soon after.
