Source: Persona 4 Arena will be region locked on PS3The PlayStation 3 version of Persona 4 Arena carries with it an unusual distinction: The Arc System Works-developed fighter will be region locked, meaning that North and South American copies of the game won't function on Japanese PS3s, and vice-versa.
Region locking just sent this game from the "will very likely buy on a good sale" to "no deal." And it's a shame, too. P4A is the main reason I decided to skip BlazBlue entirely.
I know Atlus has their reasons, but seeing how strongly anti-region locking I am, I don't want to reward bad behavior with good money I could spend on other games.
