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.'"

    There's no difference between PAL and SECAM discs FYI.

    I know Mr Blockbuster is looking to his bottom line, but my enemy's enemy is my friend - DEATH TO REGION CODING!

    I'm sure that the MPAA's response will be more along the lines of RCE though...
