It's Official - PS Vita Will Be Region Free!

Submitted by greg; Fri, 09/16/2011

Cool! It's confirmed the PS Vita will in fact be region-free! That's straight from the horse's mouth -- @yosp -- Shuhei Yoshida, President of Worldwide Studios, Sony Computer Entertainment.

What's that mean? It means when the Vita is released in Japan first, on December 17th, you'll be able to import that badboy across the border and not worry about region locked games or content.

Import a Vita from Japan, buy a game in North America, and everything's gravy, baby.

Good to hear. The less restrictions the better I say. Maybe Sony will get it right this time, with the whole supporting "garage developers" and all.Or... this will all just be another OtherOS scenario.

Off topic, mostly,http://psp.dashhacks.com/psp-h...^^ That page needs to be updated pl0x.

Yeah, you're right. And I guess every model and firmware is hackable now, pretty much rendering the chart irrelevant. I'll update it later. Cheers.
