Subject URL: EU v DVD Regions

Slashdot informs me that the BBC informed them that the EU is following the ACCC's lead by asking a few leading questions about DVD regioning and the price of DVDs compared to their US versions.

/. also informed me that Euro's largest supermarket Tesco called on Warner Home Video to stop zoning their product because it "inflates UK DVD prices". The average UK DVD new release is 17-20 UK pounds (about $55 Australian), compared to $30-$40 Australian, compared to around $20-$25US (about $40-$50 Australian).
