I know all about regionset. However, I don't want to bake my drive into Region 4 just so that I can watch the Evangelion DVD my sister gave me! I tried running it once to gain information about the drive and it seems that it's actually set to Region 2 (no surprise since I bought this thing in Japan), and that I can change it to a different region five times. No thanks. I'd prefer to wait for a firmware update that will undo this region coding brain damage, or maybe I'll just buy some other drive that I actually truly own. Or maybe I'll just stop buying original DVD's for good. The pirates are definitely making a superior product that gives me none of these hassles and headaches. -- No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn... http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com
