I have noticed a lot of developers and publishers say that despite its not just like they were for psp gameboy ds ect.. They probably 1 do not realize or know it is and 2 try to boost domestic sales. Only online features and Dlc are region locked with a few exceptions of course. Like take torne for the ps3 you can put the disc in your ps3 it is not region locked but you can not even use the freeking thing is you do not live in Japan so i wonder what was ever the point of making an import for the masses at all. Though the only game i really know with region locked online anyway on ps3 is just white knight Chronicals 2.

Apart from the "special collector's box" it comes in, isn't this just a bundle pack?
It only comes with the Compendium 1, doesn't even include compendium 2 with it.

It won't be coming here at all as the game itself wasn't submitted to get a rating because they (Telltales) it will be rejected by the classification boards

As Atlus have stated, apparently only the PAL disc itself is region locked. Other region discs will work on the PAL consoles, as it is there's still no date for the release of the PAL edition! Which is very strange to me.

The reason for that would be the ce version, aus has different laws regarding book publishing from what i know, in order to release a book in Australian shops it needs to be printed or reprinted by an australian publisher.. I could be wrong but its what ive been told

lol, don't know about the rules/laws about book releases/publishing here, I just buy anywhere else but here because it's cheaper to import anyway.

I bought the included Compendium early last year from the UK, but I still need to get part 2.

Anyway, the game won't be releasing here at all until Telltales attempts submit it....maybe after we get our R18+ stamped on our games??

Sorry, but due to the OFLC ratings laws in Australia and New Zealand, and the fact that this is a mature game, we do not currently have plans to release the game there on consoles.

It's impossible. Are you sure you are talking about Persona 4 Arena the fighting game? There was a huge mess and controversy around that game back in July/August.
Atlus locked every region because the game was being released simultaneously in both Ntsc and Ntsc-J regions and they didn't want Japanese people to import American copies.

The Uncharted Drakes Fortune demo wa originally region locked as loads of people were pissed when they downloaded it from the US store and found it wouldn't play due to region locking.
