Hi guys,
I remember reading something about region coding on
http://www.blu-crew.com/blu-tech.html
Another legacy feature that Blu-ray Disc supports but has been dropped by HD DVD is the Region Code. The Region Code for Blu-ray Disc is much improved over DVD with fewer regions and a rule where titles must become region free after a year of release. Region Code is needed by studios to protect the theatrical release income in other regions from sales of imported discs.
What do you guys think? If it's true, sounds like great news and a better region code implementation than DVD.
