Wii !!IS NOT!! region FREE - US PR made a mistake.

Sorry guys - Perrin Kaplan made some mistake - they said it' s region encoded - all of it.

FUCK

What a great news.

Basically a japanese mario can be bought months before it come out in EU.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

yeah but what happens with Bleach? Will we be able to import it either from Japan or US?

I have no idea.

It depends on the publishers.

Nintendo publish all of their " nintendo games" .

Like pokémon,mario and zelda.

But bleach?

Well if their publisher want it regionsfree...yeah...if not,no.

Hope it is region free (*crosses fingers!)

Wii is region-locked

You know what... we' ll see when it comes out. Don' t get your panties in a bunch over news on a site, where on the same page they talk about Microsoft using a propietary disc format for the 360!

It doesn' t matter to me, US is getting first launch dibs. So it' s not like I' m going to have to learn Japaneese to enjoy my Wii. It would' ve been a great excuse though.

Everybody knows Nintendo are Pricay freaks. I am surprized they are using dvds...

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

thwy have a different approach - they sell games only so they can' t take a huge loss here and then repair it selling windows.

Wii is going to be profitable from day one.They actually earn money on each unit sold.

So what you' re saying is...
Nintendo are greedy and only thinks about money, giving the Wii a pretty high price for the weak technology.
Microsoft are really nice because their stuff is almost as cheap as Nintendo' s even though it' s much more powerful. They lose some money on each console but hey, they love us so it doesn' t matter.
Sony are the best friends we' ve ever had because they practically give us technology worth hundreds of dollars for free since they lose huge money on each console.
Hmm, Nintendo really are the bastards this generation. They sure live up to that old founder' s image.

I think that what Nintendo does makes sense, but it' s cool to buy sth worth 700$ for 300$:)
