For a person who travels internationally quite often, I will never understand their decision to region lock a portable of all things.

I’m glad that I can do that with the Wii and bypass region locks because there has been quite a handful of games that are stuck in Europe.

Yeah, nothing has basically changed with game region locks these days. Sony was the first and only company to have a fully functional region free console and it looks like the competition won’t follow their footsteps anytime soon. Maximizing sales of games in all regions seems to be the biggest priority despite some wide gaps in release dates. It makes me wonder whether PS3 and Vita game sales are negatively effected by the region free stuff.
