[P1] DVD region codes?

[Benjamin Ing]

Gee, you wouldn't think that the reason that DVD's in European 
countries cost more would be because of local arrangements requiring 
local manufacturing and distribution at local (higher) labor rates, do 
you?

It gets a little tiring hearing about higher costs for products in 
Europe when the government and companies actually provide real health 
care, pension plans and vacation time.

It's always easy to complain about the low cost of American products 
when buying them on your 4 week mandated vacation in the US from a 
store clerk working for minimum (American) wage, with no health 
insurance who can't afford the loss of income from taking a vacation....
