    Does this make sense?

    I'm shopping around for a DVD edition of a movie I have. It's a British movie. With British actors. Filmed, released, and marketed in the UK. It's being sold by a British company.

    And the DVD is only for Region 1, ie, North America. They don't do a Region 2 UK/Euro DVD. It doesn't affect me much as I have a multi-regional DVD player but, honestly, where is the logic in a UK movie that can't be played on most UK DVD players?

    Death to the DVD Regions!
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

    That just shows how weak the UK market is.

        It's sold in the bleeding UK market. British company shipping in the UK to British customers. Yet only in Region 1 coding.

        A thousand grains of sand into the wounds of the infernal beast that thought up regional coding!

          Don't you mean salt? Atleast that would be the proper expression here.

          I don't understand the point of regional codes either. What is the movie you talk about?

            Get Real. A touching story that is the vital component of the hedonistic night of wine, cheesecake, chocolate, and clubbing that a gay mate and I are planning.

                  The film is "Get Real".

                  And go away Bods, no one invited you to play.

                      They do it to get money, remember the flap about the german guys who were translating all the english text from civ3 and got an injunction filed against them?

                            Get real... I think I've never heard of that one.

                            Bod's; your cloak'o'envy is so transparent

                              DVD regions need to die.

                              i have to use a ps2 dvd cracker and/or a pc dvd region cracker in order to view my paid-for korean dvds (region 3) over here, where they don't sell any of them, period.
