I seem to remember reading something about the BD zone restriction only holding for a year after the disc's release. I was never clear what that meant, whether it was that after a year they would press zone free discs on reissues (if any) or whether the year date was coded on the software somewhere and the disc could be played anywhere after 12 months.
If it's the latter, it may be worthwhile getting a zone 2 copy and waiting.
Ordinary DVD players are zone free here in Australia after a court decision some years ago, but I don't know if the companies have followed through on that with hi-def machines released locally.
As for Starship Troopers and guilty pleasure, I think that sums it up very nicely. There are great films and there are fun films, and it's a damn good fun film. That's nothing to be sneezed at in my book.
