I am looking to add a player / source my setup. I read some ongoing discussions here and based on my understanding, I believe (and let me know if I am wrong here):
a. While BD players are region locked, all Blu-ray Discs are region free and hence should play on any BD player irrespective of which region it is locked to
b. All players in India are region free for DVDs. Hence if I am picking something here, again most of the DVDs should play nevertheless
If both of these are true, then why is so much focus of making players region free? I am sure its not so straight forward but what am I missing. Would love some education here. I am down to Panasonic BDT220, provided I can source that. I dont own much content and most of what I will play will be rented BDs / DVDs and borrowed BDs/DVDs from friends (purchased both in India and abroad).
Thanks in advance for sparing your time and thoughts.
