not to nit pick but thats incorrect
Bluray region codes are software based not hardware.
Reason why most players cannot be hacked is after the whole DVD hacking thing the companies got smart and took measures to stop remote control hacks.

DVD region codes were in the firmware of the disc drive itself but there was loopholes in the players software.

No, they're hardware based, otherwise you could just flash a player with new firmware. Nearly all big brand BD players have to be modded with an override chip to bypass the region check.

yes but the actual region check is done in the software not hardware.
the chip is needed because they wanted to stop the remote control hacks.

Run Bitch Run is a nasty sleazy piece of work, reminded me of Last House on the Left.

The final kill was pretty horrific, but awesome at the same time. Really enjoyed Run Bitch Run to be honest.
