LittleBigPlanet confirmed region free by SCEE rep

PS3Fanboy writes - Chalk this one up as a LittleBigWin for LittleBigPlanet fans. A Sony representative has posted on the official European PlayStation forums to clarify the region locking issue, stating that "there will only be one region for the game.... a LittleBigRegion."

"The confusion arose out of regional differences in how moderation will work as there are different legal rules each region have to play by, and at one point this looked like it may require the game to be independent in each region". Thankfully, this was unnecessary in the end. So you can stop fretting now; your level creations will be playable worldwide and, perhaps more importantly, we're going to have a huge selection of content from all different cultures to play with soon after launch. Is it October 29th yet?

This is great - it should keep the community on LBP huge and active for (hopefully) years !

Like if warhawk wasnt region free online - there would be like 20 servers to choose from, but because its region free theres always hundreds of servers full of people.

You could have done it anyway. No PS3 games (that I know of) so far have been really region locked, which means you can buy them in one region and play in another. Actually I've bought a couple of games from USA myself and they play perfectly well on my European PS3.

The thing that had people worried was a statement that you could only download levels created by people in your region.

Not sure who 'Integra' is(i'll Google it!!!) ;-D

+This is what a Mod said on this yday(i just saw it) -

"Have to say this is one of the few times i've been called for favoring the PS3. While I do have plans to buy a PS3 i have not yet because there are no games that interest me, with none on the horizon really either. I Did have high hopes for Haze but that turned horrible in a hurry.

I assure you 360 and Wii are the only consoles of this generation in my house"

?????????

Hmm 'favoring the PS3'???

Yeah whatever!!!

'No games that intrest me'??? 'with none on the horizon really either' ???

Ho Hum!!! REALLY??? YAWN!!! :-/ So Blind!!!(Must be if they can't see 'pp' and the rest of them cheating???) :-/

+It's the Same with me!!! NO Games on the xBox 360 intrest me at all!!! ;-D
(i can get them on P.C anyway!)
(i really mean it to!!!) ;)

Isn't your name a bit redundant?

If a person is smart, then they likely do (or will) own a PS3.
If a person owns a PS3, then they are likely already smart.
