Though software across the EU is identical, different countries have different pricing schemes in operation despite the so-called "single-market," and Nintendo is reported to have been preventing customers buying cheaper products from different countries to preserve its profit margins.


What a nice way to treat customers.:surprised

Are you surprised by this? Nintnedo has always been a "dirty tricks" kinda company and this is just another prime example of the way they\'ll use underhanded tactics to make a buck or secure a market.
