You can decide to have it region lock or worldwide in the in-game settings.

My unit was NTSC-specific. Perhaps Sony makes a region-specific unit you could use.

I am not for sure if it is region locked but I did buy the item in the United States if that helps you in anyway.

Yeah Vita is region free. I played it on my US Vita. It's just the DLC you'll have to worry about. If you want that your Vita need to be using a japanese account to use the DLC.

If you have a PAL video device this will convert the signal to NTSC. This will do nothing for changing region codes on digital media.

I don't understand what you mean by "region free". This is just a portable DVD player that can be used to play DVDs. I use it in my home and it works well.

Yes, it converts the PAL signal to play on an NTSC TV. You don't have to do anything special if it's an all-region disc. For discs that are region specific, you have to reset through the preferences menu, which is explained in other reviews.

I have both region 1 and 2 dvd's and they play ok. Just make sure that when you receive the box there is a 'region free' sticker on the outside.

Yes. The PS3 is "region free", however if you plan on buying any downloads for those games, you would have to buy them from the Japanese Playstation Store.

No, it doesnt. The term universal is for formats played and not for region encoding. It is locked to the North America region for Blu Ray and DVD's (A and 1). For region code unlocking you will need to buy a separate hardware or software mod to do so. The hardware mod will make it permanent albeit more expensive. The software mod will need to be re-applied whenever there is a firmware upgrade.

My review was written for the Pioneer DVD player that was NTSC only. I don't know why it was posted under this region-free device.

U.S / NTSC zone/ region yes... So unless you have a U.S playstation it's no good. BUT you can buy this as a digital download from the playstation store so no need to order physical version... It's not a Huge file size game.

A US BR player can play region free PAL blu rays from uk/europe, but it cannot play PAL dvd's(non-HD) because standard definition is in NTSC for the US.

I haven't tried any other region dvds yet to try it out. But it does say it's region free in the description.

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.

Sorry for the late response. Yes this product is region free and works great

I assume you're talking blu ray movies. Play them? probably, display them correctly? I mean the ones encoded at 25fps that aren't region lock, I don't think so but I've never tried them myself. For Region B locked Blu rays no unless the console is the pal version. Region Free I'm pretty sure means for games only, there is one game I know of that is an exception to this rule: Persona 4 Arena. In short no it will not play Pal encoded Blu Rays nor display them correctly.
