Region locks are quite possibly one of the stupidest things known to mankind since voltage and prong differences in adapters.
As you can see, Marta is not amused.
I just came to the realization that Rie Kugimiya is going to be voicing Marta in the sequel to Tales of Symphonia and thanks to region locks, I will be unable to play the Japanese version of the game on my North American Wii.
I deeply regret not purchasing a Wii when I was last in Hong Kong in December of 2006.
絶望した!!!
