UMD Movies to be made region-free?

It sure would be a nice thought if UMD movies for the PSP aren’t bound by region locks, wouldn’t it? If you’re one of the many hopefuls, then you might as well get your hopes up just a tad higher as MTV releases have been spotted to carry the “ALL” label instead of the typical region-numeric code.

Could a region-free UMD movie be in the future of Sony‘s PlayStation Portable? If MTV is to be prophetic (and possibly correct) about it, then it looks like we just might.

Siliconera spotted new MTV releases that are labeled with an “All” region label instead of the usual number-system indicating the region the UMD movie is supposed to play on.

Now, nothing’s been set in stone yet. For all we know, it could merely have been a packaging oversight (right, for all releases?!).  Or maybe it’ll just be an MTV-exclusive thing.

We’ll have to wait for more details on this one, and hopefully, Sony will speak out regarding this matter soon. In the meantime, keep those fingers crossed, and pray that these UMD movies become region-free someday, somehow.
