Region-free would have been nice. But because of music rights and ratings boards and such, it is much more complicated than others make it out to be.


Ratings and rights only matter where the game is being published/sold, has nothing to do with region locking.


Technically true. But given the political volitility of game-ratings (e.g., 18+ is Australia) and the tyranical nature of recording-rights enforcement (e.g., RIAA), region-locking may sometimes be prudent.

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
