fixed.

The Wii is the only region-locked system (besides a selection of 360 games that are region coded).

This guy knows his stuff. :)

You CAN use a Freeloader to play other region games but Nintendo blocked it with the 3.2 firmware I believe. Or was it 3.3......not sure.

Why would you want to play foreign games anyway? I only want stuff meant for my region, and if none of my region's games are any good then I just won't buy that system.

Well, except for stuff ported over on virtual console, but that is dubbed into English text anyways.
