Back To The Regioning

Arrrgh! I just lost my original rant!

Ok, I won't lie, I've just switched back to Qwerty as my original post in Dvorak took half an hour to write. Funnily enough, I keep looking at my dvorak layout and I realise by reverting, I may be already unlearning the weekend's efforts.

This was a post about Blu-Ray regioning but upon a little research, according to http://www.blu-raystats.com roughly about two thirds of the discs coming out now are region-free. Woo! For those not familiar with the previous DVD Regioning (which still exists, just that it is easy these days to overcome it), information on Blu-ray and regioning is, of course, at wikipedia (and I am not linking because you should be able to find it yourself).

The reason why I bring all this up is that I have obtained a PS3. One of the best bang-for-buck players out there at the moment as it is always being updated to cater for new Blu-ray features and the PSP connectivity is brilliant. For example, some discs are coming out with smaller versions of the movie on thedisc for a mobile player such as PSP or iPod. Not only that but I can stream the Blu-Ray to the PSP if I was so inclined.

I can also stream video and music off my network (I use mediatomb) and can browse the internet. I hear it even plays the occasional game! (For which I bought GTAIV)

Ok. This post was not as good as my original but I am sure you all can understand the frustration of using a web browser and losing the page.

Now, back to Dvorak, housework and GTA...
