If you have a multiregion DVD player, why did you pay the extra for multiregion?
I, like most people, find the whole region encoding system really pointless - just another demonstration that Hollywood etc haven't really woken up to the internet revolution, BUT I don't really see any need for me to get a multiregion player.
I will probably end up getting most of my DVDs is European shops, in fact, I can't think of a reason why I'd ever need to play a non region 2 disc. Once you've paid for P&P and customs (potentially) then ordering region 1 discs from the US probably isn't that much cheaper - or is it?
I'm sure that a lot of people get a multi region player just so they can feel they have 'beaten the system', even if they'll never actually make use of it!
