Regional coding Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020

This article is a travel topic.
Ever thought of buying a game or television programme not available in your home country when overseas? Ever learnt a foreign language and thought of buying a show in its original language when travelling in its country of origin? While these may sound attractive, it may get more complicated than it seems as many companies use regional coding, in other words DVD's bought overseas may not work on your DVD player. Why this phenomenon? It's all about money spinning. A French video game usually sells for a higher price in France than in Canada, so by using regional coding, developers can ensure that French gamers would not import games from Canada as they would not be able to play the Canadian version on their French consoles, thus ensuring that they would buy the higher priced French version.
