Looks to me like Sony is trying to basically kill the XBox One before it even gets its baby legs.

Watch how fast Microsoft does(excuse the pun)a "360" on their recent announcements...Believe me things will change before the "One" even gets out the door. This is Microsoft dipping it's toe in the proverbial customer opinion before setting itself in stone.Sony has no choice but to kiss some a** as they have been pounded by Microsoft Xbox 360 for the last 3-4 years.

Yes but everyone is so quick to forgive and forget the failures of the PS3 launch. Price, dropping backwards compatibility, the six-axis controller, no PSN network at launch (and for like a year or better) controllers that didn't sync with other consoles, that whole sims/avatar ripoff deal that launched like a stinker, the PS Move...
Plenty of rotten eggs in that batch. They went from the great PS2 to barely being relevant. Hence why they are kissing bum right now.

it HASN'T really. I have both "our gen" consoles and prefer my ps3 ( ps3 is running rogero and my xbox 360 has the xk3y) but and its a big BUTT ;) M$ announced the used games bull and internet to be activated every 24 hours kak. Now sony have announced the complete opposite..... i guess we will see. If i was Mr Sony i wouldn't have said anything other than the ps4 is still in the final stages, wait till the xbox one goes on sale then boom hit the market witha £350 no drm and used games allowed. they would blow them out of the water. M$ will certainly do a 360 now as someone said. If not then game over

I still don't intend to buy one...and I'm guessing the region free is going to be limited (after all, Sony is the company that pushed for bluray regions...and it still plays blurays).

found more on this
The PS4 continues the tradition of having no region lock following PSP, PS3, and PS Vita. Those PlayStation devices do not have region lock. Xbox One is reported to have region locking.
How would this news factor into your decision on choosing your next-gen console? Does it hold any significance whether you can import games?
Update: Shuhei Yoshida, president of SCE Worldwide Studios, made a tweet last night confirming that the PS4 is indeed free of region lock. A Sony representative also issued a statement to Joystiq.
"In general, neither digital or disc-based games will be region locked, but we recommend users purchase games at the region of their residence to guarantee the best overall consumer experience (eg, customer service). In addition, certain software makers game titles may be region locked."
please afterdawn stop posting parts and giving false hope

Half sold. I think this is only at the surface. Just like when they allowed for dual booting of Linux on the PS3, then they decided to take it away. I feel the same thing might happen.

Another good sign.
Why would they introduce region lock if they do not have it for the PS3 games?
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

people still console fanboy? Really? Get over it guys. I'm sure both consoles will be great in their respective ways.

Since we Aussies are shafted pricewise it's a bonus to be be able to buy games discs online from overseas... no doubt about it.
