Universal Drop Hd Dvd
No surprise really
The site also says the planned second season Star Trek HD DVD is cancelled from Paramount so lets hope a region free Bluray is on the way http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Sit...continued/9027 |

I thought region encoding was mandatory on Bluray?

All Blu-ray hardware supports region coding on Blu-ray and DVD media however it's a purely a commercial decision by each studio as to how they use it. Just as with DVD you can get Region 0 disks you can get Region free Blu-ray. |

"While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba, it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu-ray," said Craig Kornblau, president of Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
"The path for widespread adoption of the next-generation platform has finally become clear. Universal will continue its aggressive efforts to broaden awareness for hi-def’s unparalleled offerings in interactivity and connectivity, at an increasingly affordable price. The emergence of a single, high-definition format is cause for consumers, as well as the entire entertainment industry, to celebrate." Let's hope they start releasing immediately after this statement.

>>At the moment 75% of US Bluray titles are region free, even some Sony/Columbia ones.<<
Anyone know if the Harry Potter BD are region free? They're only $20 each in the US but cost £18 each here. Even with import duty they work out loads cheaper, and no issues with NTSC vs PAL anymore! |

To the best of my knowledge all Harry Potter BD's are region free. Order one at a time there should be no import duty to pay for.

Yes , all the US Harry Potter releases are region free. As are all the Blade Runner sets and many others. I'm not 100% sure but I believe that Warner do not use region coding on any of their Bluray titles. |
