As far as I'm aware sony have been in from the start on this region thing with its various guises so I'm doubting the fact that the info i was given is correct because they would know the in's and out's of the anti-piracy/import techie stuff prior to realeasing/designing the ps2 player bits. In fact I dont even know if the newer dvd's using whatever new method was discussed are out yet so err I'll just shut up =) Pete.
