Any of you into their Bluray have any opinions and experiences on this ?
I know there's a good amount of titles released by the studios un-coded, but on those that are region coded is there anything technically different about them, apart from having to have a region matched player obviously ?
Is there anything else to look out for ? Do region A discs tend to be better in anyway - extra content, packaging, audio-codecs ? (for instance, the Bladerunner BD set I bought, although region free, was the full 5 disc set only available in the US, whereas the UK version was 3 disc). Unlike NTSC vs PAL, I presume 1080p/24 video content is the same, regardless of US or Europe ?
The reason I ask is that in the next couple of weeks the new high-end universal Denon A1-UD player will be available in Singapore - A Denon dealer I know quotes just over £2.1k (and I would get 7% tax back) - A slight difference to the UK £4,495. Although DVD playback is multi-region, the BD would be Region A, which is what S.E Asia is. As it stands, I can get both A and B region discs in this part of the world (Thailand & Singapore) but my concern is bringing the playing to the UK, should I likely migrate back to the UK sometime...
So trying to weigh up if having a region A player in a region B part of the world is worth the hassle ? Obviously I can order discs online, but any other drawbacks ?
Thanks.
