Region lock by passing for various consoles :)

PS2:
Yeah I know it's quite old, but there are still plenty of great games on it so here is one way to bypass it's region lock. You can buy something called Magic Swap, which can be found at various modding shops across the world. It comes with 2 discs (one for CD-ROMs and one for DVD-ROMs) and some wierd little bits of plastic and metal. You insert them in various places on the PS2 and after that is done you insert one of the discs and then when prompted you insert the imported game. This is a great piece of equipment because it also allows you play imported PS1 games too! It isn't expensive and most of the time you do not need to break the seal on the PS2 so it won't void it's warranty!

Wii:
The easiest way is unfortunatley the most outdated way and therefore can hardly be used anymore :(. Code Junkies made a thing called Freeloader, which allows you to play on any game for the Wii console. Unfortunately it only works with Wiis of version 3.2 or lower :(. I don't know what mine is hopefully it's lower ^_^.

Another way is to use homebrew, which you can buy online and download it to your wii. This will allow your Wii to play imports. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY ONLINE JERKS! Homebrew is a totally free softmod and under no circumstances should you have to pay any money to use it.
There is always the option to mod the consoles, but I prefer to keep my warranties intact :p
