Re: Region-free DVD players -- does everybody know this but me?

Posted by JCW on July 31, 2000 at 02:12:35:
The software companies are pushing the hardware manufactures to put in the regional code thing but all hardware companies I know of leave some room to make their DVDs restriction free...and its not economical to make so many versions. It ends up that most DVD players are factory ready fo all code, or locally modified (as simple as a switch or a hidden sequence of buttons) but all support by factory. Nothing new.
