PS3 will allow reigon-free gaming

Not reigon-free blu-ray support, as that would cause the MPAA to flip out, but it appears the PS3 will follow the PSP and allow games from any reigon to be played on any device.

supposedly, modchip development starts to break the region coding only ... which breaks the copyprotection in the process.
I wonder if this was a factor in the decision.

off topic but, why are our av's now 75x75? is it because all the mods are taking up too much room with their 200x200's ?
