It's movies like this that make me truly hate the whole idea of region-coded media.

Reading comprehension. You gotta love it!
Just go to ebay, many sellers have region free DVD players for us region 1 people, best thing you'll ever buy.
shareWhat I do not understand is why the UK BD is region locked.
If the producers had a half a brain, they'd have made the BD regionfree - US costumers privately importing it would have pushed the movie into profitablility long time ago.
Tesla was robbed!
Yeah, either that or ACTUALLY RELEASING THE FERSHLUGGINAH MOVIE IN THE US!!!
shareregion coding is a joke...especially with blu ray

well certain blu rays are region locked. America is region A, so blu rays that say A on the back only play on american players, whilst u.k and europe is B i believe. luckily most films are mulit region so you can buy them from overseas.
although it seems there are more and more locked blu rays coming out.

the US version is region locked as well...
shareIMO we should do away with region codes. they are useless and only stops the information.
A workaround is to buy a dvd player that play all region codes. a simple play all dvd player isnt that expensive.

If you want horror - tune in the news channel.
Region coding exists to censor "undesirable" material. Think of releasing a Pro-Tibet film and making it playable in Chinese players. Or a non propaganda film playable in NK.
shareSo whole world must suffer because some countries are dumb enough to censor the material?
why cant we then make a region for "censored" countries and the rest of the world use same region? why split uncensored world into 5 regions?

No, dimwit. Region coding allows the entertainment industry to release its copyrighted intellectual property when and where it strategically wants to. You dumb bunnies, who actually bleat like sheep and not like bunny rabbits, overlook an inherent barrier that YOUR OWN NATIONS have established: your national broadcast format! Is it NTSC, PAL or SECAM? Forget about regional encoding and multi-region disc players. If the disc is not encoded in your country’s broadcast protocol, your fucking TV CANNOT DISPLAY IT!
Sheesh! Amateurs!
Just go to Amazon and buy a region free dvd player or bluray player, you can get a region free dvd player relatively cheap (I purchased one for $40 or less last year)

For all those who are sick of region coding, I spent 45.00 us for some software called 'Ghost DVD' from a websight www.region-free-dvd.com ; its the best amount of money I ever spent on software. I can now watch ANY dvd from ANY region I want. I got it for the reasons mentioned here and others. I highly encourage you to spend the money; you can either get a download and/or get a cd-rom; well worth it.
