Just want to point out, despite ps3 and psp are region free, sony did managed to impose an export/import ban to european nations. So what is the point of being region free, if you make it illegal to import software, openly, in the first place? In this matter both japanese companies are screwed up, trying to please publishers/regional license holders and not to appear as the bad boys in front of consumers. Same with MS, leaving region locking up to the publishers.
DSi enhanced software are region lock on DSi systems, not on DS. DSi (only) software is region locked, but those game can only be played with DSi machines anyway, examples are game that make use of the camera, or requires the extra processing power that the DSi has to offer.
