According to a recent twitter reply by the president of Sony Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, the PS Vita will not have any region locking on games.

The question came from @lonelypessimist who asked: ‘is it confirmed yet if vita is region free?’ Shuhei quickly replied with “Yes it is’.

Being one of the key people at Sony and the Tokyo Game Show Sony keynoter, we can take his word for it. You may now pre-order those wacky Japanese games without worry.
