Speaking of which my latest Sony DVD writer has a region setting which can be reprogrammed 5 times. After which it will stay stuck on the 5th. Now u have the possibilty of bricking your hardware (particularly with closed drivers) or purchasing your content from the last region.
Is it a hardware level lock? This REALLY stinks.
Not sure. U can reflash the cdrom bios, but dont know if it will reset the region counter.
