if anything, MS and Nintendo will follow suit and go the way of Sony and make next gen games region free (here's to hoping for the most obvious solution)

saoco5589d ago

Real talk.

even though initialD extreme stage is only avail in the east i still got my hands on it. But thanks to the internet i got around the JP menu just fine.

anasurimbor5589d ago

How is that game anyway? What's the draw?

256bit5588d ago

if you played the arcade version. this is a little difference cuz of the physics.but it still pretty much plays a little bit the same.

It's weird when Americans talk about importing as something strange, and I am always a little bemused when people are reluctant to import things. I guess it isn't as common in America and Japan because they usually get all the releases. I live in Australia and I, and a lot of people I know/talk to import quite a bit. Around 95% of the games I buy are imported.

what about the other 5%?! no game left behind for me! /roar!

PickAShoe5589d ago

geohot should work on breaking the region lock. we must fight the system! whose with me?! i got my torch ready.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here or something but PS3 is region free except for DLC content (which you can just get around by creating an account for that region) and Bluray (most Blurays are region free). All PS3 games are region.

Mahr5589d ago

"PS3 is region free"

PS1 games, PS2 games, and standard DVDs are most certainly not region free.

"most Blurays are region free"

And the other 30% of them are region-locked.

u know its not just ps3 I am mentioning.

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.

solideagle15d ago

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
