I dont know why they would do that. All dvd players and game systems should be region free. Eventually they all will be. Only a matter of time. Microsoft is living in the dark ages.

Was going to replace my DVD player with my 360 as it's all hooked up nicely to my HDTV and the picture is really clear but I have a bunch of Asian films and some US version DVDs so won't be able to play them on my 360. That sucks. Microsoft is gay. That’s so shit.

Personally, I've seen many region-free players at small shops, but not at big stores like best buy. Good news is that manufacturers have nothing to gain from region-locking, so they appease the movie industry by having it on their machine, and appease the customers by making it easy to crack with the right combination of buttons on the remote (if you haven't already, google your player's code). Well, not all players are that easy: some players make you flash(which you don't wanna do) and some make it hardware(chip) based, and you're just screwed.
