but is that because RR7 isn't region locked for multiplayer so thus down to the developer, i heard that Resistance is?, this is comming from AV forums ps3 owners?
Like i said above, on the PS2 it was down to the region where the host servers where, but cannot confirm or deny it is the same for the PS3.
Some would argue it is a bad thing as it means that people in the UK can't play people in the US.
But it will reduce lag (although it shouldn't be much, Live has some chronic lag on intercontinental games) and it also means you can have many many players on single online games. because of a central server, resistance can have 40 player online, when xbox live struggles even with 8 player games because it is P2P.
Horses for courses though, and each to their own. But probably for games which allow a lot of online players it will be region specific, and wouldn't surprise me, but for games that only use up to 8 players i doubt it will be. I would even be surprised if F1 requires a dedicated server as it will only have 12 Human racers online.
But to answer your original question, it isn't region locked by the machine.
And to answer the 2nd question, i could be region locked by the title, and it will depend on the Dev and all of the above.
