It would be nice if that regional coding had an expiry date. For
example a DVD could be played anywhere 2 years after release. This
would accomodate such market protection, while allowing full use of
purchased DVDs. As it stands now, what happens when someone buys
several DVDs and moves to a different area? If they move from Europe to
North America, they'll likely have to buy a new player and won't be able
to play their movies.

Most players will allow you to change the region code.... up to 5 times.


Why so limited?


You can than the movie industry.


Once a decade I might see one movie a month. Two or three mostly and
usually the ones I want eventually come to TV. Thats because they did
not stay in theaters long enough for me to get to them.

I would rather spend the money on new hardware.
