Suggestion: Internationality

[patriciabu]

Laptops were made to travel. Mine travels a lot - northern to southern hemispheres at least four times a year. Media Centre is made to entertain - so why is it so parochial? Whose dopey idea was it lock the region after 5 switches? I want to be able to watch videos wherever I am, with the same laptop. Seems a simple and reasonable thing to expect of something that was built to be easily carried from country to country, region to region.

Region locking DVD/Blu-Ray is bad in your situation, especially when language and Region settings can be changed on the actual Laptop to work with other region/time dependant application of a laptop. There are ways around this but I agree there shouldn't have to be.

This is a big trip up for Media Center/Media Player on a laptop or portable device with a DVD drive. Anyone care to comment if the touted international support updates in 'Fiji' would rectify this situation?

Certainly agree that we shouldn't have to deal with region locking but given that we do...ANYDVD
