  1. Wow, I'm impressed more than I thought it would be and literally all the features I was hoping for. My only concern is with all the power under the hood of this portable beast what the starting price point will be. As of now though, SIGN ME UP :)

  2. Looks amazing!! Several gameplay videos on Youtube already. Uncharted looks sick. Anyone have any news on if it's going to be region free or not?

  3. No news yet on being Region free but its likely that it would be given the fact that both the PSP and the PS3 are region free, so why change that?

    In fact why have region locking at all these days? given the fact that most of the games that people want to play are litterally within the a day or a week or 2 from each other, its the same with any big budget movie

  4. I hope you're right I'm just concerned after Nintendo announced the 3DS would be region locked or partial anyway. I think the Manufacturers should concentrate on stopping the piracy not blocking people from playing games from other regions. I just would like a confirmation just to put my mind at ease.
