Never before has a little figure caused so much excitement. It may even be the most controversial number two since Robbie Savage was fined £10,000 for using the ref's toilet at Filbert Street. But this particular digit belongs on the bottom of the Japanese version of Ridge Racer and it seems to have rattled the entire internet.[br][br]The reason for the flurry of electronically-driven chatter has been the appearance of tiny Region 2 badges on Japanese-bought PSPs and the various launch games. And with many forum folk putting two and two together, they started to worry that, just as with DVD movies, the Japanese titles and the machines wouldn't work over here. [br][br]But the ever-watchful Sony have stepped in to once again clear up the confusion and pour soothing oil on the trouble waters. They point out that PSP is region-free so long as you are gaming but is not region-free for watching films or listening to tunes. So that means you will need to check the logos on the box if you are planning to play movies and music from another part of the globe on your PSP. Got it?
