Who else is with me on this. I've been loving the fact that on the PS3, PSP, and NDS - I can import Japanese games and not be punished for legally purchasing a product. It's too bad that Nintendo had to reinstate the stupid scheme with the 3DS.
I do know it's so the distributors can make their money, but I think it's really time to change the system a bit because the gaming / media world is becoming more global.
Honestly, region codes only seem to punish honest / legitimate buyers that aren't pirating - but actually supporting a product. The only type of hacking and circumvention that I do agree with is to get around stupid region codes.
Also, if you travel internationally alot, it's a realy pain in the ass that they expect you to buy multiples of the same device.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
