Anthrox notes that the ACCC is protecting the rights of Playstation owners. The ACCC fears that if Sony are successful in the court action, consumers stand to lose money on games purchased overseas at significantly cheaper prices by being denied the right to use them in Australia. This is interesting because it's part of the ACCC's stance against Region Playback Control as seen in DVD's etc. RPC aims to prevent Australian users from purchasing DVD's overseas. The ACCC believes that overseas markets give Australian consumers access to a wider range of competitively priced film titles, with special features not otherwise available in Australia.
