Why Can't We Have Thouse Games?

[Reine]

Hopefully, the PS3, is able to play any game, as ive heard about no region codes...and with backwards capability we might be able to do so...I am SICK of not getting all these games! Us in PAL regions are FORCED to break the law to play these games that wernt released! Its bloody stupid!

if the PS3 is Region free, it would be great, but I feel the butchery of my PS2 for was nothing.

Thats what I love about the DS, the fact that you can play USA imports on it in the UK! I didnt have the heart to chop up my PS2, but it does suck that Europe doesnt get as many games as everywhere else.

We also got Secret of Evermore, but I don't know if that's a SE game or not.

Secret of Evermore was made by Square USA, a subsiduary of Squaresoft, to "alledgedly" make up for Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) not being brought over to America, though there's no verification of the latter at all. All evidence in fact suggests the opposite, but mweh. More info on that over at Wikipedia's entry for Secret of Evermore.
