There have been some DVD players that are region selectable, but they usually get taken away. I still stumble across them online, but I'm personally more interested in a good quality player than a crappy one that can play all regions badly.
Why did they do it? Why do they do anything? Greed. Pure and simple. Box office sales are what matter and overseas sales really count for huge profits on movies that are otherwise ho-hum. If you've seen a ho-hum movie on DVD already, will you go to a theater to see it? By ho-hum, I mean movies like The Specialist with Sylvester Stallone. -Kevin > -----Original Message----- > From: William Wheatley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 2:28 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: 28 days - buy it now > > > now can you mod current dvd players or do i have to stick > with my region 2 player i have on my computer? > > > i would really like to mod or get a player that would play > multiple regions. > > And a question for you brainaics.
