WHY SO SERIOUS!

Although the Xbox 360 is being marketed as a global brand, Microsoft has decided to lock the console in regions just like they did with the Xbox. It remains to be seen if Sony will do the same with the PlayStation 3."

I like to support the Australian games market, but if they're going to lock us in our own little shell, screw 'em. Thank God Nintendo systems have never been too hard to get around region locks... or in the cases of their portables, no locks to worry about.
