Ok, this one really is annoying.

Region lockout of DVD's and Video Games.

Seriously. What the hell is the point? All it does is annoy gamers from different countries! For example, a Trilogy of Japanese games are released in America. However, the game has a continuous storyline, and one of them isn't released. Naturally, you'd get an import, but OH NO. YOU CAN'T! THE REGIONS ARE LOCKED OUT! WHAT'S THE POINT? And also, what's up with the NTSC PAL NTSCJP crap? Why couldn't it all be the same format? Language issues? So what?! Put them all on the game! An infamous case was SSBB, which after several delays was finally released in Japan and America, but no, not in Australia and England! And don't give me that BS about languages! The majority of English speakers in Europe and Australia are as big as US, so for the other languages: Oh well. OR AN EVEN BETTER IDEA? CREATE MORE COPIES OF THE GAME IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES TO RELEASE IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES! IT MAY COST MORE TO MAKE, BUT IT WOULD PROBABLY GET THEM EVEN MORE MONEY TO START WITH! The main offenders are Square-Enix and Konami. Seriously, you two. You guys may be good designers, but you sure are stupid.
