» Best move ever!!!!
The modchip was originally created to play imported games and somewhere along someone could exploit it to play burnned games.
Being able to import and not worry about region coding in games is one less reason to get a mod chip. With all the steps they have taken so far with security measures in the PS3, i doubt there will ever be a fully functional modchip, you might be able to play some games but not all.

» wtf
what was that? sdk ... homebrew? i like the idea of region free, it does sound like they're going all 'global' considering the location free thing etc.
i have bought imports for gamecube, but not ps2 cos i don't want to 'chip' anything... but now it's ok! hoorah

» brilliant idea...
Its a good idea, but its another reason for Ebay and Lik-sang to go crazy with prices. I would import one but the money isnt there. I hope they release games in each region at the same time, rather than like a week later.

Is Sony becoming the Mr. Nice guy this generation? Earlier they would kick you in the nuts whenever you tried to do anything... Like playing foreign games or homebrew...
