I guess i am being a whiny customer/consumer at the moment, but does anyone else get a little pissed off about it. Although, the mentality, when more barriers or obstacles are put up, people may be more likely to rebel against it? ....or that could just be a load of crap

Also, how come America got Region 1?

The reason it wasn't done with VHS and CDs is that piracy wasn't the problem it is now when these platforms were first released.
