Region locks are one of the most pointless things on earth! They disable people from playing imported games that aren't availible in the player's country of origin! All they really do is damage the economy of various countries!
The excuses for region locking are really lame, for example, Nintendo stated that they put the region lock on the 3DS because of the various different rating systems throughout the world - PEGI, ESRB, CERO etc. and that a 3DS from lets say the EU would trying to play an NSTC game would void it's parental lock because of the different rating systems. This is stupid. If this is the case they should only make it so that 3DSs with the parental lock on it can't play imported games! One of the reasons people loved Nintendo hand helds so much is because of the fact that they have always been region free!
If there is ever any news on bypassing the Nintendo 3DS region lock I will let you know straight away!
