Let’s cut right to the chase on this one. When asked if the PlayStation Vita would be region free, VP of Sony Worldwide Studios Europe Michael Denny said that yes, it would be — to the best of his knowledge.
That’s great news, obviously, and I hope Sony sticks with what Denny said, given the way he phrased his answer. One of the letdowns with the 3DS is its region locking, so good on you, guys.
