    I'm pretty sure that would be illegal. There's a lot of EU free market laws.
    Nintendo don't seem to have a problem buying from other countries within the EU http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/7095237.stm

  • That page was last updated Nov 14th, Nintedo decision only came out week or two ago.

    I would have thought it was illegal too, but Amazon has complied and stopped shipping them from Germany to UK as have many other european companies

    see WII threads in "Quick Grabbit...." - there was mention of letters being written to MEPs
