i don't have a region free player yet, and have not seen a different region dvd yet, but i think we're getting screwed. after a long look at my local dvd store here in japan, i think they take dvds more serious over here than in the states which doesn't seem right since all the movies are made in the states. you guys should see the packaging on some of these dvds, i'm talking WOW!! Ronin, a good film, not the best, has a special edition with 3 discs and DTS. The really good films get even better treatment. I'm tempted to buy The Terminator Deluxe Edition just cause of the packaging, who cares if i can't read the menus. Reservior Dogs, which i love, has 4 discs! Dances with Wolves is packaged in a leather carrying case! the matrix has TWO discs!! alot more movies have DTS tracks also. granted, the prices are a little higher, but i guarantee if region 1 spent half as much time as they do here on dvd development, their sales would definately increase. gotta go do some research in the region free forum, but just wanted to let you guys know that region 1 dvd development is in need of serious attention.
