It would be nice if that regional coding had an expiry date. For example a DVD could be played anywhere 2 years after release. This would accomodate such market protection, while allowing full use of purchased DVDs. As it stands now, what happens when someone buys several DVDs and moves to a different area? If they move from Europe to North America, they'll likely have to buy a new player and won't be able to play their movies.
Most players will allow you to change the region code.... up to 5 times.
Why so limited?
You can than the movie industry.
Once a decade I might see one movie a month. Two or three mostly and usually the ones I want eventually come to TV. Thats because they did not stay in theaters long enough for me to get to them. I would rather spend the money on new hardware. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
