But who really cares?
Would you really want to import a UMD movie?
If your that into movies DVD quality should be a bare minimum!

of all companies, sony was the last i expected to go region-free. i’m so happy this is happening, but i’m afraid now that it’s here, i may not even be able to take advantage of it. i have two region 2 umds, but it’s really about the games. unfortunately, there is yet to be a japan-only 2d fighter released for the ps3. this is my real reason for owning a japanese ps2. well, that and initial d. i really want to see initial d on ps3 or 360. i’d prefer a region free version on 360, but i’ll take a ps3 version one any day. in 13 years of playstation gaming, region free is the only sony move i can actually applaud. now if they would just give me a reason to be happy that i have a region free ps3.

“I have to commend Sony for openly embracing import gamers.”

i live in germany and i hardly feel embraced. most of asian exporters, dont send anything to europe, some doenst even send software anymore although only exports to commercial importers are forbidden. euros dont feel embraced, more like a small child who is allowed to watch other childs play but doesnt allow to play itself.

Woohoo! No wait… who cares? They should have put an HD in the PSP a long time ago.

@Ryu – Wait, they still can’t do that? I thought that deal was over when the PSP finally came out. Please educate me, I might have to revoke my statement!

Embracing import gamers? But not letting Play-Asia or YesAsia ship to Europe? Hardley embracing.
