Allgemeine Informationen zu Importspielen und Regionalsperren

If your console originates from Germany or anywhere in Europe, you can use it to play all games released in Germany and Europe. With some handhelds and consoles you can also play import games from Japan and North-America. This does apply to almost all of the newer platforms, while many older consoles usually are region locked and require the use of import adapters.
