Default HD-DVD Region Free!

Yup, according to a trade magazine in the US, High Definition DVD players will not use region coding. Apparently movie studio's no longer see the region coding as an issue, due to piracy, launch windows are collapsing.

This has to be a really good move for HD-DVD!

I don't know about really good, I can only see it improving things slightly but yeah it is a good thing overall.

My DVD player can play all region stuff, apparently anyway I've never tried :O

They maybe region free but wouldnt the picture codeing still be PAL, NTSC ect i though they were two different things?

Can be changed in the settings of some (most?) dvd players tho, i know i can choose in my dvd player settings between PAL, 16:9 PAL or NTSC. (that is the type of tv attached to it)

that sounds like a smart move.

i wonder if they will deliberately hold back hd-dvd/bluray -R's for a while. or even if burners will be made for them. the layers must be so tightly packed, im not sure if it will be possible to actually burn the bits on that small, or if they will need to be textured manufactured discs.
