You and I, the movie collectors of world cinema, are hardly the problem. BDA just makes life harder for the enthusiasts for no appreciable gain, as you're quite right IMO about the downloaders - hell, the guys with the vid-cams at theaters are more dangerous than us. Most of what I'm interested in is either never going to be released stateside, or will be altered or inferior version in this region. Luckily there are many titles I covet that are not coded, but several that are locked to Region B. It's hilarious as most titles I'm interested in aren't terribly commercial anyway. UGH!!

This is really too bad. I can live without a BD player for awhile, but the Oppo-out-of-the-box option seems closed for now.

Revision: I'm not buying one of these after all, and it's because of the region locking. - Audiophilander 12:43:50 12/22/08 (0)
