It is a slap in the face of importers as well, but as far as I know,
SONY is only happy with that. They don't want import-games! If they
would, they would never have used the different area codes.

I still wonder why games can't check an area code during loading
sessions. This way ou make swapping impossible as well, or at least
harder.
