PS3 games not region marking on spine anymore?
« on: July 05, 2015, 10:28:02 pm »
Games had been being marked with the region "ALL" for a while, but just recently they don't even have that, or a region code in the product number.

European games don't have a region marking on the spine normally, but almost all games released in North America did until now.

North American games had a BLUS product code on the spine, even with games with a region of "ALL", while European games have BLES on them.

Newer games (my examples are BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma and J-Stars Victory Vs+) don't have any region on the spine, nor do they have a BLUS before the product code, but do have an ALL region listed on the back of the packaging in the same location as EU games.

How long has this been going on? Do European versions of these games have the same barcode as the North American versions?

If this makes no sense, I can provide examples.
My collection doesn't include my Steam or PSN games, just physical games.
