PS3 Games to be Region-Free!

At a Q&A session with select member of the press, Sony’s Phil Harrison said that all PS3 games will be region free! So if that F1 game I’m looking for will only be sold in Europe, then I can import it and play it just fine. That’s awesome news in my book.

Advanced Media Network - GDC: New Controller Design And More!

Supposedly it’s a method of combating piracy.

This is so awesome. I can now import Super Robot Wars and many other JAP games without mod chipping it!

jerryhat : Update 2.53 is available, but doesn't allow native BBC iPlayer. Not good.
Emrah : Me too, I have the UK invitation, and I had not even downloaded any theme. Seems gimmicky and unnecessary, that home thing.
Sporty : You can always play the damn arcade games to unlock more cloths lol
jerryhat : That/s right, it does seem to be lacking in content. But i was impressed by the client and the network. All seemed very smooth.
Trev : got into home last night too. there's nothing to do except talk to people...

bunnyhero : @fleakitten: hopefully this means that the exclusive dlc will just be timed exclusive.

Burten : lol. Not to take the discussion to the shotbox, but come on..? Nobody likes all games, its that simple. Some like the mother, other like the daughter Keep your "hate-articles" coming, Gary!
Gary : Thanks Segitz. There are some crazy people that take what is written as if it is a personal insult.
Segitz : Gary, I found your article about LBP very good. I too was quite unimpressed by it after some time! Just ignore those ranting idiots^^
Trev : some photos i took on wipeout hd «link» check it!
Blackstaffer : Emrah: you'd be disappointed. It's cool at first, but then you realize that there's nothing to DO.
Emrah : Oh, I wish I was in the beta to meet you guys.
Tosh : I think Home v1.0 is groundwork for things to come.

Blackstaffer : Cool!
Pc : @Blackstaffer and anybody else who wants to know....I have those trigger attachments for both of my controllers and they work great! It feels weird playing without them now.
Trev : can't say my fingers have ever slipped off the shoulder buttons but i have read about people liking them.
Emrah : Another Sony screw-up. With the new interface, you cannot create a sub-account for people over 18. This is stupid. In the license agreement, it says you can, but sub-account choices are not displayed at all if you pick an over 18 age. Please advise..
Tosh Hatch : I would like to get some myself.
