Re: You have a good point about region coding

I read somewhere that Blu-ray does have region coding though it only uses 4 regions instead of 6. The info I read also said that using region coding on a disc was optional but, if it was used, then it had to be removed when pressing new copies of the film when 12 months had passed after the original disc release. That's a much more sensible approach than the standard DVD approach.

The PAL/NTSC 50/60 Hz issues should both be dead. It's a new format independent of the old TV transmission standards and the frequency of the power line shouldn't have an impact on playing digital data. After all, you can play the same CD with the same results whether you play it in the US or in Australia with our different power systems. Power line frequency doesn't affect speed of data playback.
