You're going to have to explain that to me.

I was thinking in the lines of, a customer buys a 3ds, then travels somewhere else and tries to buy games for it. If it didn't have a warning on the box, he might be end up being ne unhappy customr. So it's good that Ninty is doing this, possible less issues for them as well.

@dsister: that's like asking a gamer who imports certain japanese games to buy a console just for that. So yeah it sucks if you import games. It won't affect me in the least cuz I don't import games (well maybe a few like the handhled Bleach games) but not many. I do however know some who import a great deal of japanese games, in addition to western games. Bottom line is region locks are stupid for handhelds, hope others won't follow than and who knows maybe most games will be playable in several regions.
