Is the PlayStation Vita Region-Free?

Region-free gaming is something we should all be behind, whether we’re importers or citizens of countries with arcane classification laws. So whether the PlayStation Vita is region-free is, for many, a subject of great importance.

And on that front, there is some good news. Sony Europe’s Michael Denny has said that ā€œto the best of his knowledgeā€ the Vita will, like Sony’s previous disc-based PSP handhelds, be region-free.

If true, that would be a big plus for Sony’s new device, as Nintendo’s rival 3DS has turned a lot of people off with its new policy of region locking.

If it’s true. The words ā€œto the best of his knowledgeā€ aren’t confirmation on the matter, even when they come from a man who works at Sony.
