PSP// 区码问题再被美国地区重提，索尼回答无需担心

  Today, the Web was bubbling with reports that copies of the American manual for the PSP contain a nasty surprise. Namely, said manual flatly says that, contrary to statements from Sony, games for its forthcoming portable will not be region-free.

While some sites say the manual was "leaked," it is actually on public display on the Web site for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Along with a bunch of FCC testing documentation, the page contains an early English-language copy of the PSP manual. Stamped "TENTATIVE" in giant red letters on its cover, the manual features screenshots still in Japanese, as well as printing marks and several instances of unproofed copy.

But what got most gamers attention was the second section of page 100 of the manual (pictured), which is devoted to "Compatible Media" for the PSP. Under the heading "UMD"--the propriety Universal Media Disc format used by the handheld--the manual says the following. "UMD contain a region code that is assigned to each sales region. This system can play UMD marked with either region code 'ALL' or '1'."

The manual is in line with Sony's public statements that non-game UMD media like movies and music would be region-encoded. However, the sweeping nature of the passage, which implies all UMDs--including those containing game data--would be region encoded goes against Sony's proclamations that the PSP would feature "region-free gaming."

When contacted by GameSpot, Sony Computer Entertainment America reps were quick to dispel the rumors. "It is a 'work in progress' manual," said one rep. "The PSP adopts both 'worldwide' and 'regional' code system. For PSP games, we have adopted a worldwide code system, and as previously disclosed, games are region free."
A similar furor erupted when the PSP was first released in Japan, as some boxes for the device were clearly bore the Region 2 UMD logo. This was also true of some early copies of Ridge Racers for the handheld.

网上最近报告指出,PSP美国版说明书中，只能读取全区或者1区的PSP游戏，这和当时SONY的游戏无区域限制的说法大相径庭。

说明书也指出UMD影像或者音乐，甚至游戏的SAVE都会含有区码，不免更令人担心。

索尼很快回击这个谣言，说明书还未完工，并声称PSP确实采用区码限制的系统，但是对于PSP游戏，采用全区码系统，所以如之前公布，游戏没有区码限制，全球通用！.

该用户已被禁言

听说是因为FCC的REPORT的关系，REGION CODE 都写上1（美国是1）但是，这是对应电影，而游戏是不分的。
