View Full Version : RCE- Still going strong. :/

As I was just looking down the forthcoming releases list over on
Play247's site it occurred to me that there are an awful lot of the
region 1 titles being RCE encoded.

Will the studios ever get it in to their thick heads that this sort of
tactic is totally pointless as there'll always be a way around it.

So to anyone buying a modded player i'd say that "RCE friendly" is no
longer a luxury but an essential.

Play put "RCE" on anything they are not sure about just to cover their backsides.


As far as I know only Columbia and Warner are using RCE.

I find it annoying that they continue to use it as most players don't have a problem with it so it's relatively pointless - just happens that my Toshiba does have a problem with it :(
not a major problem, as you say there are workarounds for it.

As for Play - I think that they just say that the Discs are RCE just in case, not all the ones labelled as such are actually RCE.

It's best to <u>ignore</u> www.play.com 's description (they're as bad as Amazon).

Quite agree. Not that my player has trouble with RCE discs anyway! :)

A greedy corporation will not admit it's failure!
In any case I do not have any RCE title in my collection, is there any worthy title including RCE?
