A new dvd/blueray drive for a PC needs to have it's region set the first time it encounters a region locked disk. I believe most can be reset a maximum of 5 times before it locks.
Build yourself a "Media Player PC" and set the region to US.
Or sail the high seas like they seem to want you force you to.
Not everyone is going to understand they need another drive. It just stinks.
It likely will encourage more people to sail the high seas.
