Well you can (and I do) buy digital versions. So no sub required. Or just shop at Amazon.com.

LPT: UK is the same Blu-ray region as us. So Amazon.co.uk if your player isn't region free.

Funnily enough I have a region A player. From when Blu rays were quite new. I believe the newer ones are region free these days.

I remember I couldn't lend my disks to my friends as their players were region locked B. Region A had the thinner cases too which I liked.

The problem with those is the DRM so you can't use it if Amazon go down (or lose their licence to it) which is where DVDs and Blu-rays shine
