    Region Locked

    Concept »

    A version of a game purchased in one part of the world may not be playable in another. Region free games however, can be played anywhere.

    What actually goes on this page?

    The page is titled "Region Locked". There's an alias that says "Region Free". I'm confused. The two have opposite meanings, so which category of games are supposed to be attached to this page?

    Region free games go on the region free page (like PS3 games), whereas region locked ones (Wii games, certain 360 games etc.) go on the region locked page.

    Shouldn't there be a page for region free? It's not the same as region lock but yet it's put as a alias.
