Warner Bros. and Universal and other region free distributor's should be applauded for making our hobby more accessible. It's slightly ironic that DVD has 8 or more regions, that horrible region 1 protection update and it's quite easy to hack most players, Blu-ray on the other hand only has three regions, thousands of discs are region ABC and it's almost impossible to buy an off-the-rack multi-region player (or hack one), unless you spend money on a modified player.
