E3 2013: Yoshida: 'PS4 is region free'
It's unclear if Yoshida's statement indicates the PS4 will be region-free in the same way the PS3 is. The PS3 can play game discs no matter which geographical region they're tied to, minus the sole exception of Persona 4 Arena. There are region-based PlayStation Network restrictions when it comes to downloadable games on the PS3.

Now that they've announced this some people could import the console, because the UK prices are messed up.

It helps prevent fraud, that's why Microsoft region locked everything in their new Xbox, this just allows more frredom to trade games and sell them around the globe.
