Pfft, the region lock is to try and stamp out imports.


Of course the sensible way to stop people mass importing would be to just stop releasing games up to a year apart for different regions...

 

I don't understand the problem with imports. The only people hurt are (some) local retailers, and they don't seem to have a problem carrying hardware and software for non-region locked platforms.

I'm also dubious that the amount of importing that goes on for any game could be described as "mass."
