	I hope I haven't missed a thread asking this, but will the 360 version be region free? Seeing as Australia aren't getting it till the end of Sept (according to Ezygames.com.au), I was thinking of importing it. Also seeing as we aren't getting the HD Movie bundle with the PS3 version, will the movie be region free or locked? I know PS3 games are region free, but what about the movie? I'd love to be able to import it as well, seeing as we aren't getting the movie here

	I think the XBox version is region free, but let me double check. As for the movie on PS3, Midway tells me it's for North America only. Sorry.

	PS3 is NOT region free. From what I understand, XBox IS region free. Edit: I am checking on the coding of the Xbox release. I'll post the final answer in a new thread.

	Just to be sure Echo77: the collectors edition of the PS3 version will not be region free. BUT, will the standard edition of the PS3 version be region free?

	So that means, if I would buy my Stranglehold copy in America (since it comes out sooner there )that I won't be able to play it here in Belgium ? -----signature----- Survive the only way that you know.

	I get why the collectors edition would be region encoded, but the standard edition? Doesn't make sense. Oh well, thank you for the information Echo77. I'll have to wait a little longer before I get it then. ps I hope Midway doesn't start region encoding all their PS3 games from now on.

	Echo77 posted: PS3 is NOT region free. From what I understand, XBox IS region free. Wait, I've read this again now, and you mean to say that all the versions of Stranglehold on 360 are region free and all the versions on PS3 are region free? Are you sure about this, because it sounds odd. Maybe I was unclear before? Is the PS3 version of Stranglehold without Hard Boiled region free or not?

	PC games are all region free. So no matter where you buy it from, it'll work on your PC. Region coding makes baby Jesus cry I thought all PS3 games were region free (excluding the collectors ed of Stranglehold as it contains the movie)?? I thought that was one thing that Sony promised with the PS3 :/
