: I get pretty P**** off when i read that Warner Bros is fiddeling about with some new kind of region protection. To stop us nasty europeans importing the region 1 DVD..
: Ok,I would LOOVE to be able to buy Reg2 dvds, It bugs me that i need to wait 14 days for my flicks. But seriusly, what do you filmmakers expect? Take Fight Club as a example, the American version has two discs and is filled with extras... the European version? No extras(one disc version), and it costs around 30$ bucks.. i payed 21 for my Reg.1 Fight Club. I would be a idiot to not buy the reg.1 version.
: And then there is the issue of movies, as a example no VA flicks is due out on reg2 dvd. And this is NOT limited to VA films i might add.
: NOW to my question....
: WHY-O-WHY do you filmmakers have a problem with europeans importing reg1?
: its not like we´re stealing them or anything, we just dont like to be hustled, and right now you GET HUSTLED EACH TIME U BUY A REG2 DISC..
: I totally agree. I'm gonna get a DVD player for christmas and the only reson is cause I can get American DVD's like Mallrats & clerks. If they do stop them from playing on European DVD players I am gonna be so pissed off I may well kill someone...who runs warner Bros
