Ok (ha! were u expecting "Ahh!" weren't you!) so this will be a guide on how to play game's of other regions separated in sections by console, so without further delay, let's get started!
Gameboy Advanced:
The GBA is REGION FREE! so go ahead and buy any region GBA game and it will work.
Nintendo DS:
REGION FREE!
Nintendo DSi:
REGION BLOCKED! Yes, it is true, the all new shiny DSi is region blocked so don't upgrade to it unless you are 100% possitive you won't buy any games of other region.
Sony PS1:
REGION BLOCKED! Ok old systems are ok to be region blocked because I mean come on, how much would it suck for Square Enix America if everyone bought the Japanese version of Final Fantasy 7.
Sony PS2:
REGION BLOCKED! Ahh the best game system I have ever played, but sadly it's region blocked, however if you have a model 70012 slimline you can buy a flip top and swap magic disks to play imports, I think you can do it with a original ps2 but I'm not sur... oh crap I said "Ahh" didn't I?
Sony PS3:
For the most part REGION FREE! WOOT! Yeah, well I have heard rumors of SOME games being REGION BLOCKED but for the most part the PS3 is REGION FREE, thanks Sony, you may have gotten alot of things wrong with the ps3, but this is one of the good things.
Sony PSP:
REGION FREE!
Nintendo Gamecube:
REGION BLOCKED! I want to see a pie chart of how much money Nintendo would REALLY lose compared to the made up number they THINK they will lose... Anyway a nice gamecube freeloader will fix the problem, but remember this important fact: GAMECUBE MEMORY CARDS ARE NOT REGION FREE LIKE PS2 MEMORY CARDS! IF YOU SAVE JAPANESE DATA ON A MEMORY CARD WITH DATA OF ANOTHER REGION ALL OF THE NON JAPANESE DATA WILL BE DELETED!!! THIS WORKS THE SAME WITH SAVING AMERICAN DATA ON YOUR MEMORY CARD WITH JAPANESE DATA!
Nintendo Wii:
REGION BLOCKED! Ok this is the one that pisses me off, installing the Homebrew channel has become so complicated because of Nintendo trying to stop it... just look for instructions on http://www.wiibrew.org/
Xbox 360:
IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE DISK! Which basically means game's like Ghostbusters work on all region consoles (I offer this region free disk to Europe as an apology for not only being delayed but also because No More Heroes was censored in their country).
Those are pretty much all of the systems I know how to play Imports on and from now on I will post mostly every other day (there might be special occasions that I will update daily) so please check every other day for new posts.
