EU investigating DVD regions

Hobbes · 2001-06-11 20:05:00

I don't have a link (lost it), but the EU are currently investigating the use of DVD Regions. The movie industry claims that it is to allow staggering of films, however the EU is pssed off because US DVD's are normally much better quality and sell for a hell of a lot less.
