New Sony Store Won’t Be Region Locked

By Mark Wilson on April 4, 2008 at 6:20 AM

With the new Sony PlayStation Store being a firmware-level process (as opposed to the glorified website of yore) some were concerned that Sony might take the chance to region lock the PlayStation Store, ending our days of Japanese downloads through the exploit of using multiple store accounts. Luckily, Sony has opted not to plug the obvious holes in their system. SCEA stated that, “no changes to the store will be made as part of this revamp relating to region locking”. So consider the confirmation a small, good thing.

New PlayStation Store not region locked [Gaming Age] Thanks Eric!
