@battybuddy Well to be honest, it works in the company's favour. They can control pricing and launch dates, restrict piracy and prevent sensitive content from reaching poor impressionable audiences. Though the post-2000 lockout for the n64 was more probably to prevent the use of hacking devices (passport, action replay, etc)
@Shmuklidooha I'm a huge fan of importing. Theres a store around my area that sells import games, and sometimes I just pick a random game I have no clue about and buy it. I find some real gems that way. I'm a little reluctant now, since it seems companies are getting more and more "You play what we ALLOW you to play" lately, and I don't wanna waste money on hopeless dreams. I feel for you and your unplayable games.
@battybuddy Yeah, I have plenty of imported games, and it turns out that they installed this special lockout chip on all games released during and after 2000. So i cant play starcraft, ogre battle or sin and punishment even though i spent a fortune on them =(
@weirdproq1 Oh... one of THOSE deal. Honestly I hate it when they do that sort of thing. Especially for games that they advertise in american magazines(And yeah, I heard of the game from a magazine). I read about a lot of games that were "Possibly" coming to american stores, but SORRY- that was cancelled for this country- BTW, don't even think about importing it- we don't want you getting your grubby little mitts on this game we told you you might have.
@SomeFluffer64 dude they finished it for america but for some reason or another it never got release thought i read it got bad reviews in europe , at the moment i am try to find a way to play it in america without spending to much money on video converters.

@battybuddy It was only released in Europe and has a special lockout chip so you won't ever be able to play it anywhere else, even with a converter.
