I didn't. It can't play on a PAL player.

[up] Don't blame Brad, blame the wankers that came up with region coding on DVDs.

[up]I'm not blaming Brad for anything. I am kinda blaming the Walkaway site for not making it clearer to non-tech folks exactly what "region-free" meant. It sounds like it'd play on more things, not less.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

[up][up]Exactly. I figured it meant that as well.

I sent an email to Ryan Mitchelle at Walkaway a while back telling him my disc arrived blank before finding out any of this. Dude seems genuinely pissed on my behalf and told me to email their disc manufacturer to complain. Apparently they've been getting a lot of complaints.

So, I've spoken with a tech-savvy friend of mine, and according to him, if a region-free DVD plays as blank on your computer, it is in fact a blank disc.

[up]Well, the impression around here seemed to be the disc wasn't playing due to region problems.

I'm sorry I'm not particularly tech-savvy.

No, if a player can't play it due to region issues, it flat-out tells you.

It was cool hearing Brad talk about the influence Tarrantino's films have had on him. I've only just started watching these films in the past few months and I love (most of) them to death.

So, got a second disc.

My computer doesn't notice it's there. I pull up Computer, go to the DVD Drive and it tells me to insert a disc.

[up][up] How is it a spoiler if it occurs before the first advert? This isn't exactly Battlestar Galactica, "ace."

Brad is not going to make it, due to a sick relative. You guys follow his tweets, I'm fairly sure, but just putting that out there. =/

Yeah. Though he said his family member seems to be doing better now, so that's good.

I find that Brad Jones hates a lot of things that I love and loves a lot of other things I enjoy too.

Like he said in Game Boys, "I am a man of controversial opinions". Or something like that.
