Took the words right out of my own mouth. Key wording there being 'future-proofing'. I don't like the idea of not being able to trade my blu rays at a CEX or something at a later date. And yeah, if a region free player broke, we'd be screwed. Glad somebody else understands why region freeing isn't the best idea. Definitely not as easy as people make it, thanks for being understand, my friend.

No problem. And I can understand not going region free. I would love to own some of what Arrow produces, but since they switched to region locking their releases I just can't go region free. For me, it's about future-proofing your purchases. I used to have a region free DVD player (well, a cheap one that could be switched to all regions), but I found that when I upgraded to blu-ray I couldn't play those old discs. Also, if something happened to my region free player, I was locked into needing a region free player to play those movies. It seemed like too much of a hassle for me, so I can understand when people don't really want to go region free. It's not as simple as others make it out.

Thanks. Sounds brilliant. Hopefully a port uses the same sound encode. If the film isn't available by next August, i'll invest in a region free blu ray player. Cheers mate.
