more reasons why U.S. geeks need region-free DVD players

If you don’t already own a region-free DVD player, American geeks, here’s all the incentive you should need to get one: Now available for sale via Amazon U.K. is the Region 2 box set of Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica. You can’t get it yet in the U.S. In fact, Amazon U.S. won’t even tell you when Season 4 might be available here. The best it can do is let you sign up to be notified when the release date is announced.

This is only slightly better: new box sets of the Star Wars Original and Prequel trilogies were just released in the U.K. Region-free-free Americans have to wait only another month of so for our editions of the flicks.
