Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

There is no "logic" behind it, not any logic that benefits the consumer/user anyway.

The regions are mandated by the DVD consortium (money-grubbing-profiteering-no-fun-industry-types).

They just don't want someone from Japan watching a USA-released DVD before that movie is released in Japan, to avoid losing profit.

Lucky for us, there are a bunch of DVD players that are easily hacked to be "region-free." I just hacked my Zenith DVB318 and watching many Asian movies no problem.
