Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free
legoburner writes "Contrary to an earlier Slashdot story, Nintendo have now stated that the Wii will not be region free. The original claim came from Nintendo America, but Nintendo UK have gone on record denying the claims. They put it rather bluntly, stating: 'We are region-locked,' and that Nintendo America made a mistake by claiming otherwise."
By your sig's logic you can give me credit for preventing an asteroid attack on the planet. My anti-asteroid device has been working perfectly -- no attacks yet! Credit where credit's due please.
Your analogy would make sense if Earth was currently going through a massive asteroid field causing world-wide damage, we had been hit with a huge one five years ago, and since putting up an anti-asteroid system over the United States, we had no further occurances despite knowing the asteroids had been consistently trying to hit us.
(And if you think they're not trying to hit us again with the massive amount of publicity they got last time, you are stunningly naive.)
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
