The Register already confirm that DSi is region-locked, but will run any NDSL games.

Considering that DS firmware can be reflashed without even modding the device, I predict DSi will probably be the same and shops that can "unlock" DSi with hacked firmware to remove region lock will become commonplace. Then it's the same arms race like Sony PSP vs modders. Either that or "reflash kits" to change firmware will become common (the current DS' firmware can be reflashed using a passme and by shorting a contact via a small hole near the battery. If Big N use same system for DSi, then it'll be a piece of cake to reflash).

Of course laa, if the hack comes true, use the hack wisely. Only run import games, dun do piracy

For me, if I have to get a DSi, I'd not mod, but import from US using NCSX or some other online shop, since I mostly interested in US games.
