I know HD disc are code free at the moment, only thing is will they ever not be, i mean if i by any films in the US will there be a point that they may not work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry if this has ben asked but i can find it

Should regional coding ever come to HD DVD (highly unlikely IMHO) and if you have a region free player than coding cannot be enforced on that machine.

So get yourself a region free HD DVD player i.e. anyone that’s on the market now, and don’t worry about what the future may bring.

Just to expand on what Drongo has said - all current discs and all current HD DVD players are region free (for the HD DVD side anyway). It is possible that, in the future, regional coding will be introduced - however as introduction of such coding would require compatibility with the HD DVD-Video specification you can guarantee your player will still play new discs, and all your current region free discs will remain playable.

And, of course, there's no sign of RC arriving anytime soon, and HD DVD players arealready very cheap.

If RC arrived tomorrow you can pick up a HD DVD player from the US for £100.
