British movie fans were last week converging on Woolworth and Comet stores,
hoping to buy one of a batch of Samsung DVD players that can be made to play DVD
discs from anywhere in the world. The £250 player beats the regional
coding system designed to ensure that movies imported from North America won’t
play on machines sold elsewhere. You just punch a four-digit code into the
remote control. The secret has leaked out from the factory, where staff set the
regional code depending on export destination. Samsung admits the universal code
is “spreading like wildfire on the Internet”. The code will only work for the
first batch of machines.
