While it’s far from a confirmation that Sony’s next-gen handheld will be region free, Sony Europe’s Michael Denny has told IGN that “to the best of his knowledge”, the device will be region free. Win!
Considering previous Playstation portable systems have enjoyed region free status, there’s a good chance that this will be the case, but until we hear someone from Sony say “definitely”, there’s still a small element of doubt. Let’s hope Denny is right about this one.
