The Register brings word of a Wall Street Journal article (that you can't read unless you have a subscription) reporting on the antitrust fine console videogame purveyor Nintendo will have to pay for obstructing cross border sales (Europe busts Nintendo for keeping game prices high). In other words, Nintendo (like the DVD film industry and most other console manufacturers) uses chips in their products to prevent, for example, the playing of a game bought in Japan on a console bought in the United States. This permits them to sell games at differing prices in differing regions and control distribution. It is also the sort of control that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act protects.
