| If you were buying a DVD player to go under the TV, you'd be crazy not to buy a Multi-region machine and they're readily available even from reputable mainstream stores in the UK like John Lewis. But what if you buy a DVD player built into your laptop? Or you buy one of those neat little portable DVD players for the kids in the back of the car or to watch on the plane? My understanding is that you can't get these (ahem) modified for Multi-region. On most laptops, you get 5 chances to change the region encoding before it simply stops working completely. How about accessory DVD players for fitting in a desktop PC? Let's face it, this stuff sucks! Exactly why shouldn't I buy a DVD in the USA while on a business trip and play it on my machine at home back in the UK? Why shouldn't I go down to Forbidden Planet and buy some import Anime and expect it to work on my UK machine? Just Say No To DRM [from: JB Ecademy] |
