Noticed a rather worrying trend. Lionsgate used to leave their catalog titles without region codes, but the latest shipment had two Lionsgate titles out of three region coded. The coded ones are Reservoir Dogs and American Psycho; you can’t get much more catalog than that.

7.6.2007: I was certain all 20th Century Fox titles would be region coded, but the latest batch of Finnish titles proved me wrong.

28.10.2007: New titles from Fox contain a small warning text in the rear cover informing the consumer that the disc is copy protected and may contain BD+. Of the five new titles only two have BD+ protection on them, however.

01.04.2008: The list is being updated again, after a longish break. I’ll keep adding titles whenever I have spare time. Oh yeah, Fox is again region coding even their catalog titles, so beware.

23.07.2008: Long time between updates, yeah, I know. Been very busy with work and all that rubbish. Added a few Scandinavian releases, in case anyone outside Europe wishes to do some importing :)

28.07.2008: Added two new Scandinavian releases, both region free.
