Region encoding for [tag]PlayStation[/tag] will be a thing of the past when the [tag]PlayStation 3[/tag] hits the shelves as Sony have decided to make it [tag]region-free[/tag].
IGN is reporting that piracy is one reason for this – many owners add a “mod” chip to their player to allow it to play games from different regions, now with the [tag]PS3[/tag], there will be no need for this.
However, as the article explains, there are still technical reasons why games from one region might still not work in other regions, but this is technical rather than an imposed restriction.
