Actually region restriction has become a bigger issue this generation, or let say with DD. Currently DD services are divided into regions with different pricing, say if you live in the UK you tend to pay more than if you live in spain, for no real reason. We are talking about goods that are, probably, stored on the same servers worldwide, has, most-likely, the same publisher in all regions, and it is the same product. So why is it ok to charge people from different regions differently? Physical good are different you have to ship them over air, water and land and then store it in warehouses, so I do think that is justifiable, but this new kind of region restriction is pants, and unless you have access to a vpn connection you won't be able to bypass most of them.
