Xbox 360 Games, DVDs Will be Regionally Locked

September 16th 2005 | Games Consoles

In a press briefing just before the Tokyo Game Show 2005 started, Volish spinners put the world on notice with the news that the Xbox 360 will be region locked, not just for DVD movies but for games, too. There will be no more "imported games" sections in stores, since Microsoft prefers to sell the same title for different prices.

Sony shows no such regionalism with its PlayStation Portable console, but it remains unclear whether the same principle applies to the PlayStation 3.
