Not to mention the fact that as far as Blu-ray anime releases are concerned, region locking is utterly pointless. The most expensive (Japan) and cheapest (US) markets share the same damn region code (which begs the question: why hasn't the Japanese domestic market collapsed?) whereas countries with much closer pricing (UK/US) have different codes. Which just serves to screw over the UK again as not only will our comparatively small market mean we won't see many releases, but the vast majority of consumers won't be able to watch imports either. Great eh?
