Blu ray needs to be region free

[lateralus85]

As title suggests. The cost of blu ray dvds here in Australia is insane. You will only find a few blu ray dvds under 35US but most are about 45US.

Not only that but the selection here is very small and when I went to look at buying some blu ray movies on Amazon I realise that none of them will work on my ps3. I just think the blu ray is actually losing out of sales here and is very Inconvenient for customers like myself. There are some rare blu rays I would like to own like the NIN live blu ray but cannot find a pal region version of it.

In the mean time, HD DVD owners are importing their dvds at a cheaper rate and having a larger selection to choose from. Not to mention that the dvd's get delivered to you and most customers would buy more than 1 dvd to reduce delivery cost which equals more sales.

So yeh, if blu ray were region free I think this war would be a landslide to blu ray. The world today is internet shopping, yek PS3 games are region free but not blu ray movies. Thats just not right.

What do you all think?
