Wii Freeloader Breaks Regional Barriers

by Piers Fawkes

wii_free_loaderIt was only earlier this week, PSFK was having a discussion with the folks about whether gaming would suffer the same fate as the music industry. Our debaters suggested that the gaming industry is different because of the proprietary format of the consoles and the games and that allows a lot more control. We still argued that in the end, content wants to be free and technology will overcome. Anyway, we say all this because Engadget held up this simple DVD you put into your Wii to overcome any regional restictions allowing people to play any game from anywhere in the world.

It made us wonder if one day we’ll see such mods that mean you can play at Xbox game on a PS2.
