You're hallucinating....go grab yourself another baggie of medical mj

>> Oppo has been providing this function since they started manufacturing DVD players without incurring any legal penalties; it has propelled them to the top terms of one box versatility, along with their excellent customer service. <<

They managed to get around the rules because they weren't a major electronics manufacturer. Their popularity has put them on the map and unless they want to be wiped off of it, they'll play by the rules.

>> Trust me, not offering backwards compatible region flexibility on their upcoming Blu-ray player is a BIG loser for them. <<

Maybe among you malcontents and handwavers who whine on AVS all day, but not Oppo is still a winner to sane people.

>> Zone locking for Blu-ray is a totally different matter and is selective by rights holder, so it is far less critical for the consumer at this point, but even that can be by-passed if the customer is willing to double-down and invest in a modded player. <<

You are talking about a slim propeller hat wearing contingent of the DVD-buying public. That is your demographic. But don't assume it dictates market forces or distribution policy.

>> Your efforts to equate film lovers who enjoy foreign fare and demand region flexibility with bootleg enablers or pirates makes you appear foolish; <<

I'm not equating anyone. I'm saying it's stupid to buy a Region X DVD and expect to be able to play it in Region Y. I'm saying there are some players that will do that, but these are in violation of rules. That's a fact.

>> if I were you I'd quit while you're behind (here's a clue: there is no 'ahead' for you on this topic). <<

The format I adopted won and studios are distributing titles in the areas where they have rights...and will continue to do so as supported by electronics manufacturers and region encoding. That's reality. Run from it as fast as you can, stoner, but you'll never leave it behind.
