As far as I know there are only two things on the PS3 that are locked region-wise. Copies of Persona 4 Arena are locked to only be playable in the Americas due to licensing agreements and fear of reverse importing and is the first region locked PS3 game since its launch (the game is virtually the exact same for the Japanese/USA versions) and JOYSOUND (a karaoke applications for PS3) is locked to be played on Japanese PS3 hardware only.

I hope the PS4 doesn't have issues with region coding because the PS3 did it in a very convenient way imo.

I wish they would just stop region locks entirely...but as long as prices differ so much between countries I don't see that happening(just compare US prices for media, which are incredibly cheap, to rather expensive Central-European prices and those ridiculous Japanese prices - of course they don't want, say, Europeans to import DVDs from America for 40% less)

^^ my understanding about the next generation of consoles is just going to pretty much kill games, lol. (all this crap about codes and getting rid of used games)

bluray players are region free, thats what ayu dvd's have no region lock on it. Any bluray player with play any bluray DVD disc, as well as playing region lock dvd's

For the most part, most Blu-ray discs are pretty much region free. I think all of Ayu's Blu-ray releases so far have been region free while the DVDs are still Region 2.

I believe that japan and america (if you are in america) are the same region anyways... so it would be safe to buy if they are region locked!

No, the US (and Canada) is region 1 and Japan is region 2. People in Europe (aside from Russia/Former Soviet Union) like me can however enjoy playing region 2 DVDs without any problem. :)

^ we are talking about Blu-ray, not DVD.

Blu-ray has 3 regions. Americas and some of east asia (everything but china really) is region 1.
Region 2 is europe africa, middle east and Australia.
region 2 is the rest of the world.

LOVE the outfits!! Pictures look awesome. also love the Ayu anation stuff i saw... where can i get them?

About the region encoding everyone's discussing, not sure how it works exactly, but it is possible to take ANY Bluray or DVD Player and make it ALL REGION for FREE. My friend did my DVD Player quite awhile ago and I can buy DVDs from ANYWHERE and watch them on my TV without any issues or complications at all. Just pop the disk in and enjoy. :D I didnt bother with the Bluray since Blurays from like Japan & HK are same region as me anyways.

[QUOTE=TeamAyu2004;2968386]^ we are talking about Blu-ray, not DVD.

I thought blurays couldn't be region-ed locked. I'm surprised Australia isn't under the same as Japan. since that part of the world is called Australasia you think it would be easier but Iv never really got the whole deciding who what region to begin with

New release date seems to be 13/03.

hey know this is kinda off-topic, but does anyone know the FULL tracklist of every performing artist on the DVD?

I want to know too !!


I just it 2 weeks ago XD
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=325

*according to CDJapan, this is the tracklist of the DVD:

1. SAMURAI DRIVE
2. CANDY GIRL
3. Sunshine Girl
4. Love is Everywhere
5. 冒険者たち
6. 本日ハ晴天ナリ
7. Sexy, Free & Single
8. ANDROID
9. Still Love You
10. 777 ~We can sing a song!~
11. Forbidden Love
12. One of You
13. Time goes by
14. 出逢った頃のように~Shapes Of Love~Dear My Friend (Medley)
15. Perfect Place
16. All I Want Is You
17. one nation
18. BOY MEETS GIRL
19. CRAZY GONNA CRAZY?EZ DO DANCE
20. evoLLANTE
21. HANABI ~episode II~
22. Sunrise~LOVE is ALL~~glitter~BLUE BIRD~Greatful days
23. You & Me

So, there's no "HANABI, theme of a-nation'03, July 1st (!?)"

I guess it kinda makes sense, they can't cut the opening song. HANABI II is something new and different, the summer medley is kinda essential for a-nation and You & Me is a new song. But HANABI and theme of a-nation are great too.

Oh God. :laugh While this performance is absolutely awesome, the title is just...

thats a crap set list...
looks like I can save my money.

They know if you already live in the M-flo?

I just saw the evollante :p Noone seems to have the dvd/bluray though...
