The region-free thing was a big mistake on HD-DVDs part. Not to spam the thread, but studios prefer region encoding b/c it makes things easier for DVD pirates to make fake DVDs and they usually put a lot of movies for HD-DVD out later than BD as a result, for the studios that are neutral anyway.
Again all of these security things might not seem to matter much to the consumer, but as a consumer you should want them, because consumers will ultimately have to pay more for their movies if a lot of pirating goes on.
Thanks to kenobi after I got him to ban my old account (dallas) after someone hacked into it and being ok with me coming back under a slightly different username. I appreciate our communication in the PMs. Also I want to give a big thank you to vgchartz for being one of the cooler websites around.
Oh, and I'm still the next Michael Pachter
