This ties them to DVD players set with a matching <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD#Region_codes" rel="nofollow">region code</a>, so only those DVDs will play on those players. That way the industry can have a North American DVD release, and a UK DVD release, and an Asian DVD release, etc... It's basically a lock-in technique. The problem is trying to get movies from another country that will *never* be released in your country (or released in a heavily edited or modified [read: butchered] state). Being able to set a player region-free, means being able to play nearly any DVD that you want. The problem after that is whether the player can handle both PAL and NTSC formats (which the Polaroid player does). Does that help? Most DVDs have a region associated them.
