Region coding is so stupid, especially with HD media which bypasses the old NTSC, PAL, etc standards, it's a by-product of ages long passed which should've died with VHS.
Australia and New Zealand are the only two countries in the world (at least that I'm aware of) to have passed law to prevent region locking in media players released down here. The idea is to give the consumer more of a choice in what they buy... this is something that the companies who support Bluray don't want the consumer to have. After all, they want to make as much money from us as they can.
