In , Sony released the highly anticipated PlayStation 3. This system followed suit with the PlayStation 2 and offered full backward compatibility of the PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 library.
However, the newest feature of the system was the inclusion of region free game playing. Unfortunately, Sony soon discontinued the production of the 20gb, 60gb and 80gb models. Region free gaming remained, but only for PS3 titles. As of , these systems are still fairly easy to track down for a reasonable price, albeit a bit higher than the newer models due to the inclusion of backward compatibility.

SO, I wonder if is it possible to put SwapMagic 3. Conceptually, it could be work, but I don't know if it will work in real life or not? So I hope to hear some opinions from people who have more experienced with softmod, about this concept like will it work or not really?
Anyway, I can't really understand the logics behind Sony's decision regarding region lock part on PS3. It is some kind of contradictory from Sony , know what I meant?
