Was it ever advertised as being region free though or was that just a happy bonus. Also, people aren't forced into piracy. They could buy a system from the other region to go along with the games they obtained from another region. Do I think that's a good thing, no I think regions are stupid, but saying they're forced into piracy is just a straw man.Niode wrote: Inazuma brings a valid point, what happens to all those people who imported PS3s knowing that it was a region free system. That's a major selling point. Now what happens when they can't buy games for their system anymore? They're forced to seek alternate means of running games from another region. AKA Piracy.
Anyway, I'm wondering why this hasn't been locked yet. It's more than run it's course and while many of the reasons for being pissed are valid, most of the posts are just pointless bickering back and forth at this point.
