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.

[Freak of Nature]

I just knew this darling of a lil' company would come through in the end....

I mean otherwise they would have had to re-name the game to "Littlebigcontinent:....J K...

That a way to go Media molecule....

[Cwalat]

i know, this would be the fall for LBP... but damnit they did it ! :D

[facepalm]

The phrase "LittleBigRegion" just makes me smile. ^-^

Good news for everyone!!

[TheHater]

See when website takes thing out of context for hits on their site. I hope next time, those website should not jump to conclusion but contact the developers for more info on the subject.

[Mc Fadge]

+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!!!) ;)

@zapass ;) Your Avatar is my Mobile Phones Screensaver!!! ;-D
+Bubbles for you always 'zapass' ;) We are going to have FUN;) making LBP xBox 360 FIRE Levels i bet!!! ;-D

They have NO sense of Humour on this :-/
The Gamer Zone is boring anyway.

@juuken ;) Oh GOD!!! ;-D Hides!!!(Hugging my Sack-boy Toy!!!) ;-D

[ozhuerta]

Integra from Hellsing?
Great anime! Alucard FTW!

[juuken]

HAZ, you're an idiot.

That's Integra from Hellsing.

[LittleBigKillzone]

Does anyone know how to get to the website of the official forums where the sony rep confirms this?! I believe it, i just want to see it firsthand for myself lol

[Milky Joe]

http://community.eu.playsta...

Na Naa!

[Lord_Ash]

My anger is gone now, thanks MM and Sony.

[plain rice]

No need for confirmation, it's all in the name.

[Caliber]

I got a little bummed out about the rumored region lock in LBP, so this is great news.
Now back to waiting for release date, I'm so damn hyped about this game!

[Bigbangbing]

i was Really Nerves about this ... Now :)

[zapass]

.

[SmartPS3Owner]

Im a Smart PS3 Owner

[strotee]

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.

[zhuk is god]

A Sony representative has posted on the official European PlayStation forums to clarify the flop issue, stating that "there is not our fault its just we are loosers like our buyers."

[juuken]

Flop Human says hi.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Lmao..a kid with a too human avatar calling another game a flop.

Ooooh ..the irony..

[mirroredderorrim]

Excellent confirmation. Now, we can do this on an international tip.

I can't wait to try levels from everyone, all over the world.

[zhuk is god]

Hellsing the best vampire anime In the world

ova1 great
ova2 awesome
ova3 awesome
ova4 uber awesome
ova 5?¿? who knows?¿ anyone, juuken you know=?

[kumashii38]

great!!

[AIi_The_Brit]

asked him a few quiestions before he's awsome

[Bathyj]

See. I told you

[micro_invader]

Whew, thank you MM, you had me worried there for a second!

[Lionsguard]

All is right in the universe once more.

[specialguest]

I wanna download the Japanese created stages. You know those Japanese can be pretty damn creative.

[Brixxer600]

You beat me to it, that's what i was going to say, i really think that the Japanese will come up with the wackiest, most interesting levels, thankfully now we'll all get a chance to see.

[Cajun Chicken]

Hurrah!

[Webswinger93]

Does this mean I can buy the game in the USA and play it in Europe?

[Caliber]

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.

[Webswinger93]

Thanks for the reply. I might save some money by purchasing it in USA.

[eagle21]

This is awesome guys. :)
