Unless you live outside the US, or are playing a DVD that was designed for another country. Try playing some anime DVD you bought in Japan on your US region DVD player. It won't work. Likewise, try bringing your US region encoded DVDs to another country and try to play it on their players. They won't work either.

I don't have to worry which DVD player I purchase. If Phillips stopped making them, I can get a unit from another company. It's that easy.

Not quite. Unless you're changing the region-encoding on your player every time you play a DVD from a non-US country (which you can only do 7 times, iirc), you're going to run up against a limit.
