Nitpick - Any DVD player in the USA
The region system affects those of us outside the US most usually as most movie's and TV shows are released in the US first and months later in the rest of the word and sometimes never.
And I'm in Region 2. those in Region 3 & 4 have it worse off as it takes even longer and fewer make it there.
It cuts the other way for people who like foreign films, as most of those don't get released for R1 or R2, so you need to buy a region free player which in many places is not available or requires a hack.
And DVD drives on computers? they are region coded and allow a maximum of 3-4 changes before you are stuck on whichever region disc you last watched. While there are workarounds, you should not have to do that to play a disc you purchased.
With Mobi, while you are limited to PID's at least there is no limit to how many times you change the PID in the database.
