There's a little known yet very disappointing fact about the Playstation Network that we're going to share with you today. If you have a friend who lives in a different country, then its possible you will not be able to add them as a friend on your PS3. The reason why is that if you register your PS3 in a specific country, your Playstation Network is limited to that region. I have yet to confirm this for the rest of the world, but it is currently the case in the United States. So, if my friend from the United States registers his/her Playstation 3 while they are on tour in Iraq/Afghanistan, then I will never be able to add them as long as I'm a US resident. This is extremely disappointing, Sony.
This looks like a great way to play.

it makes sense, psn is a private network and the US government wouldn't want to allow any message to pass between these two nations. its kind of a no brainer.
the games are region free but online gaming is not region free for all games. I don't know about now but I bought AU version of Motorstorm and I can only login to AU/NZ and EU servers only which ultimately limited the chance to play with players from other region. then I bought Minna no Golf JPN version and all I can play is in JPN room with Japanese players! not that I have problem speaking Japanese but it would have been nice if we are allowed to play at the global scale which means more players and more interactions between gamers! I bought Kratos from AU PSN store and tried to apply it to the JPN version but it doesn't work! luckily it was just under AU$2 but still these things piss me off!
don't let me even start with address and credit card registration! My country is not even in the list! so how the hell would I buy things from PSN if I can't even put my address? then no PSN cards!! DAMN Sony, you can do better than this!!
I live in Cali and I've got friends on my friends list from all over the world including the Middle East.
BTW the link is broken.
Broken link and still approved?
Sony locks down the servers from becoming worldwide, except for a few games like resistance 1. this is one of the bad things about the PSN. Although Sony has a better console, they dont have a better network. IF they want to win this generation, they must keep evolving the PSN faster.
