Formatwarscentral reports that they have read on the AVForums that someone has discovered a workaround for region coding on Blu-ray titles.
He has found that it works on New Line titles and essentially uses controller commands to jump past the warning to the main menu.
It will be interesting to see if this workaround can be applied to titles from other studios, and Region B titles to play on Region A PS3.
Of course, now that he has talked about it, it will probably be disabled on future firmware releases.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
They were able to get this to work with 4 movies, this is mostly unconfirmed and shouldn't be considered "news". Unfortunately you cant read the whole thread by just clicking on the story, you have to click on the thread link in the upper right hand corner... which helps to do before calling something "news".
I really hope they will not fix it it, cause region-free is better for the consumers, but yeah, they'll probably 'fix' it.
This is why I was pro HDDVD: No region-coding and no DRM crap.
I really think it's ridiculous that in this current day and age, we still have region-coding...
If I wanna import a USA Blu-ray instead of buying the European blu-ray, because the european Blu-ray is of a lesser quality AND more expensive, than it's the European distributor's own fault for releasing a mediocre, overpriced product!
If you throw open these markets, the consumer wins, cause we'll have more competitive pricing and better quality, as well as a lot more options to choose from.
If I am in Hong Kong and wanna buy the latest asian movies, I wanna be able to play them back home on my PS3. That's my right as a consumer.
You can kiss that loop-hole goodbye. I'm sure sony will patch it, just like they did with the rsx when it was hacked. People need to be little hush hush on things.
Stupid news.
I thought blu-ray movies are region free like the games
There really isn't any foreign blu-ray movies out there (everything ends up here anyways: Paprika, Curse of The Golden Flower, The Host)
