Pros for laserdisc over vhs and dvd. No region code and no macrovision.

Pros over Blu ray no drm.

Hacks or ways to bypass macrovision and dvd region lockouts were taken care of though not necessarily legal under USA laws.

Blu ray could have been without region codes or lockouts but Sony and some studios did not want that because of reverse importation.

While a Blu ray movie that is in region A say a japan release will also work in the USA, a Blu ray pS3 game will not.

I don't think there's any way of circumventing that short of buying a PS3 from Japan. Sony and Nintendo did GIANT mod chip crackdowns a few years back, and I don't think there's a legal way to make game consoles region free for games. But I also don't know much about the subject. On that subject, I have an electronics question I have posed in the off-topic forum if anyone would know...

Geez Mike O. Glass half empty much?

Well, we've been battling forever, and first wound up with the GOUT and now this. It's just hard not to finally just throw up my hands.
