Yes there's a few of us collectors out there that's willing to do this.
Oh. Well, in that case the answer is even simpler. The system you are asking for would take a good deal of engineering and be extremely complicated requiring regional distributors to be constantly in contact with one another so that they could determine when a game drops in price in one region that the game is no longer active in another region.
It is easier to just lock media to a single region than trying to build an ever changing system that determines whether or not you are able to activate a game in your region based on the current price of the title in the "purchased region" and the current price of the title in the "activation region".
ExampleYou bought it in Russia last month for $70, but didn't activate till a month later, at which point the Russian price dropped to $20 so you are no longer to activate your $70 version.
A silly and complicated system built for an edge case. Not going to ever be done.
