I'll be in the land down under during the worldwide release of S/M and it made me realize:
Australia and the EU share the PAL region-lock for 3DS games, don't they? Couldn't I, unfortunate EU person, just buy my cartridge there on the 18th instead of returning to the EU on the 20th and waiting 3 more days?
Wouldn't this also mean that Australians could leak the game "early" for Europeans? I know that probably somebody will leak an US region-locked version that will be rendered region-free (or people will just use HANS). But isn't it kind of "dangerous" to play online with a game that is from a region that shouldn't be playable on your device? Are there any previous bans recorded for such incidents ?
Thanks!
