About the games on R2 DVDs...

Post by sethn172 »

Howdy!

Here's something to think about. Since about 2002 or so, Greece had passed a law banning all video games; everything from console games to portable games to computer games (with or without internet connections) to cell phone games, etc., and the penalties for playing video games there are extremely stiff (big fine, long time in jail).

Does Disney in the U.K., France, Germany, etc. know about this? Some Region 2 PAL DVDs like Peter Pan, the Toy Story movies, Cinderella II, etc. have Greek sound and subtitle options. I forgot whether or not those discs have games on them. So I was wondering, are those titles currently out of print in favor of this law? (Greece is in the same region number as those three countries mentioned above, and they use both PAL and SECAM!) Will Disney re-release such titles just to remove the game? Will future Disney DVDs in Europe omit games from their releases? (Because, what if a Greek DVD fan were to watch a certain DVD [the feature film] with a game on it but no Greek language options are available?)

I was just wondering. Thanks!

As far as I know this ban was removed not too long after it was enforced. Kinda rediculous since it was based around the use of gambling more than anything.
