What reason does the big n have for region locking anyways?


Possibly the same reason why Atlus had the region lock on P4 Arena. To prevent people from ordering/buying a game online or off of another region before their own region's release.

Corporations believing it would affect overall sales numbers altogether if it s permitted. Although its kind of dumb....cause in the end overall WW sales is where it matters lol.

I would sign this cause if they take off region lock I could order BD from EU instead of waiting a couple of months in 2014 for the NA release >.>.

But I dont want to input my address since it seems to be required >.>.

You can put a fake one in. Like "AAA Street 999" fake.

@topic: Without region-locking I would never have had to use a Freeloader to play my imported copy of SSBB. Thus the Freeloader being blocked wouldn't have made me look for an alternative and I wouldn't have discovered the Homebrew Channel. Without the HBC I would never have learned of mods for SSBB and stopped playing the game much earlier...

=> I say, let's keep the region-locking
