Hi,
I dont know if this is relevant to the discussion, but in Sweden (not a
region-1 country) people where so pissed at the regionsystem (and the fact
that most computer geeks could go around it, but the average person could
not) that the whole region concept had to be removed. Ie. this forced the
large companies to rethink and nowadays we have commercial region-free DVD
players in most stores.
It's a bit of a laugh that they now list "Region free" as a feature to
increase sales.
Regards,
/m
