Just bought a Panasonic BR player for SWMBO for Xmas. I wanted to get a couple
of discs to get started.

I was somewhat shocked at the lack of titles in the likes of Kmart, Sanity, Big
W and Target.

We don't have any JB HiFi stores out by us so I couldn't visit one of them.

The stores that I looked in all had at most, around 110 titles. (yeah, I counted
them).

So, where's the best place to get them online in Oz?

I'm already investigating making the unit region free, but it involves
installing a mod-chip into it. Not something that I want to do, though, given
that it's brand new and will be the missus'...

Blu-ray isn't mainstream - yet. People are still buying cheap DVDs
instead.

That sucks

Every time I go to a B&M store the Blu-ray section is devoid of any
customers.

Funny that.

EzyDVD
JB Hifi

Amazon.co.uk (overseas)

That's a hassle. Try to find multiregion titles instead.
