White knight chronicles 2 was released in EU 3 months earlier than US which is a lil wierd to me, and there are a few games I have seen my US friends on which I have had to wait for because its not released in EU.

Also the Wii, PSP, PS3, and i think the DS/3DS have no region locks on games, as far as I know its only the 360 that does, because there is no point in region locking consoles except to prevent imports, and people would just chip consoles to get around that.

Also modern games consoles dont require a physical chip, you just install a custom firmware if you want to play copied games etc.
