I only have one Question:

1)
Will the Region Code System ever vanish ?. From my point of view the Region Code System just hurts the sales. I always import dvd' s from Japan or the US, because they simply are not available here in Europe. I mean in the end all DVD Players except my PS3 are Code Free or can be modified to be. So what really is the benefit of the Region Code System. I mean Sony realized it with their PSP and the PS3 and abandoned the Region System. So I can play games from Japan, some of them which will never be released here in Europe.
I would be so grateful if for example the PS3 would be region free. One Example: I'm still waiting for the blu-ray release of TMNT here in Europe. It's avaible in the States since last year. The DVD's Version was released in January in Europe but no Blu-ray. Import is a no-go because it has Region 1.

Kind Regards

Many people blindly affiliates Blu-ray with Sony. What is BDA comment on this? Does Sony really has bigger share in BDA board (to make decisions)?
