I probably sound like a complete noob, but are DS' region free? I want to get Scribblenauts as soon as it comes out, but it comes out in the USA first, so I'm thinking of importing it. Would a US game work in a UK DS?

The first two are, but I've heard that the DSi is region locked.

No DSi's are not region locked for regular DS games. You can play any game in it that you want. DSiWare is different though - you can only download games from your region.

For the time being. Nintendo plans to region lock future games for both DS and DSi.

Yes, I tested Jump Ultimate Stars in my American DS Lite. It worked.
