In case you missed it gamers, the newly announced and highly anticipated DSi will be region locked. Here is the official quote regarding the news:
DSi software (software that is only compatible with DSi) is region locked, eg: European DSi software can only be played on European DSi consoles.
Sorry importers, it looks like we may have to do some heavy modding to get those crazy Japanese titles that we all have come to love.
**NEW CONTEST COMING SOON GAMERS…STAY TUNED!!**

I had heard that this was still unconfirmed as it seems that a lot of things about the DSi are still up in the air, but if this is true, I’ll be severely disappointed. I don’t get to import lots of games due to the cost and the obvious language barrier, but two of my favorite DS titles are imports (Jump Ultimate Stars and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2, if you were interested). The fact that the DSi will be region-locked like the Wii really, really disappoints me….if this is definite.
