    Let's be honest, they would be very, very stupid not to make it region free!

    Not surprising. Gameboy's have been region free, would make no sense to lock the DS out.

    Seems logical what's the use of making a portable machine that has no need foo different outputs like ntsc or pal be region locked.
    No portable console ever as far as i know has had a region lock on it.

    Now I just have to decide whether I want that ugly ass US box. I still might buy a Japanese one from Lik Sang.

    Thanks for the tip, Kyuusaku. I was just by that area today checking out a really crappy apartment... like most on the island, unfortunately. :(

    Beautiful, I'm so glad they decided not to implement any region lockout. Imports too wacky for life on US soil, here I come.

    Speak of... the need to make a portable Ore No Ryouri on DS - with the touchscreen, it would be perfect for a new chapter in that game. Too bad the rights are owned by Sony and they are just sitting on it after releasing that one, shining gem...
