Blockbuster Chief: End DVD Region Codes

Posted by timothy on from the talk-about-a-mixed-metaphor dept.

Xesdeeni writes "Blockbuster's President/COO Nigel Travis has called for the elimination of the DVD region code. At issue is the situation when a movie is released in one country several months before it is released in another. He points out that pirates 'can drive a cart and horses through these holes in the release schedule.'"

    I had to delete my first two replies because I couldn't keep from calling you a smarmy little bitch. After all, I was just trying to supply you with the information you were looking for.

    I was under the impression that you wanted information on studio's altering films under pressure from Blockbuster. Not on their displaying altered video's without sufficient labeling.

    Your reading comprehension may be fine, but you seem to have a difficulty in communication more fully your wishes on what information you would like provided.

    Honestly, a modicum of decency would have been appreciated.

    Do try and have a lovely day!
