Pretty much EVERY DVD site is covering it.

Its going to be on Most R1 DVD's from next Year, however according to a friend who works for WB in the States in there DVD devision he told me it would still work on my PC as it's hack changes the Hardware Settings but probelly wouldn't work on my Samsung but he also said that someone will probelly find a way arround the lock eventually.

Word on the street is that the RCE doesn't affect handset hacked Samsung 709's

I'll post more at www.709online.com when I hear for sure that it works.

If you look over at dvdnews.co.uk we have a list of players tested by Link Electronics.

We have also had emails from readers saying that the Samsung 709 works OK

Generally it looks like if you can set the region manually you are OK

What is happening, is that the DVDs will not work on Region 0 players, not a new Region 1 coding
