If so, it's probably an anti-piracy thing. Nintendo is far to commercially inclined to do this for fun.


Theres no relation to anti-piracy. Piracy could in fact allow the device to be region free. If anything, thats one more reason to pirate the 3DS. I guess, because of the novelty the 3DS offers, they thought many would want to import it. Thats my guess. Whether or not they do that in order to sell 2 console to importers or to keep track of the market could be discuss.
