There is no need to make every region region free you know. Make japanese games region free (not the console) and make the rest region locked. and btw there is something called Import duty & taxes so its not always cheaper to import from a country with usually lower prices.


also there is shipping costs.

but this is money the publisher wont see ... and it would be still cheaper to import > lost money for publisher > region lock

(for countries like e.g. sweden, australia and japan to an extend) where a game is like $120 but for the rest of eu its like $80-90 except uk where most people import from or us ...

I know but then again  as I said before

"In a world of shitty micro transactions   (and Region Locking being a matter of firmware etc  and not hardware) Why dont they allow me to buy Japanese games or US games and pay a 10dollar UNLOCK FEE  so this one single game is playable on my system?  Better than no game at all." 


You know like selling  individual region free patches  like selling Wiiware games.
