Re: Multi Region Blu-ray Player

Hi again Jesterrace

I know that region free is a much bigger deal outside of North America since you folks can import titles from the states for less.
Its not so much that the DVDs and Blu-ray discs imported from the US and UK are that much cheaper (it is approx 10-20% cheaper to import once you take postage fees into account) Its more a case of availability, in Australia the total list of Blu-ray discs is approx 300 (DVD approx 4000), in the UK Blu-ray is approx 4-500 (DVD approx 10.000) and in the US Blu-ray is approx 1200 (DVD approx 25,000+), where would you get your movies from?

Maybe overseas but here in the US they have never made anything region free straight out of the box.
So why would you ever need region free in the US you already have the greatest selection of DVD/Blu-ray discs in the world.
