At this point in gaming history, we need to stop with this regional lock crap. We are a global society, so our consoles should follow suit!

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well, there goes the idea of importing one from the states.
sigh.

as for the vita, well, it technically IS region locked.
locked to 1 PSN account, and depending on which region that account is from you can only play games from there.
all the games i bought from HK for my launch vita last year dont work on my AU model.

I think this is a really bad move. What if a guy buys a game from another region that isn’t sold in his region? A bad move I suppose Nintendo?
