As i mentioned earlier i happen to import evrything related to my gaming and have found it to be pretty nice, I do however get a little irritated when i walk in a virgin and see games that I cant buy due to region constriction. My solution was chip it so that it becomes region free and plays piracies as well, I personally never buy pirated games cause I like leaving them in the original box and saving them like my Nes and Super Nes collections. Anyway now that the console might be region free I want have to spend my time waiting for a chip paying for it or even voiding my warranty so this comes as great news. I do predict that due to European higher prices more people wll end up importing from the states that way they avoid the taxation, since importers actually buy for supposed "personal use"  and that translates into no taxes. I know not every game will be region free buy 1st party is enough to get me excited since i always have to plan and wait ages for my orders to come from the states with relatives or something.

NoE has gone on record stating that Wii will be region coded. At least according to IGN.

Nintendo definitely need to clarify wether it will be region free or not.
