Re:Also holds for DVD region encoding? (Score 2, Interesting)

Yes, at least if you don't buy Sony. Pioneer used to mark their region free DVD players with a green dot sticker on the box. no advertising, just the sticker. Don't know what happens lately though. BTW. This judgement is almost certainly short lived as a result of the free trade (sell out) agreement with the US. Don't get over excited, it aint going to last.
