New PlayStation Store not region locked
Breathe a sigh of relief. Foreign content will still be on-limits.
After receiving the official announcement regarding the PlayStation Store's impending redesign (details and screenshots here), one of the first questions asked was "will we still be able to access the PlayStation Store for other regions besides our own". With the new PlayStation Store moving to a native XMB application and away from a web-based system, many have questioned if Sony would take the opportunity to region lock the store. So we passed along the question.

The official answer, thankfully, is no. Our friendly SCEA rep "confirmed that no changes to the store will be made as part of this revamp relating to region locking". So like before, those users with multiple master accounts corresponding to different regions will indeed not be locked out of those PlayStation Stores.
