But i've NEVER heard of games/software cd's,dvd's not working on a generic dvd player in your pc. No matter where the discs are coming from. Bluray is a different matter on which i have little to no knowledge. Besides the point though since no pc game has ever been released on bluray to my knowledge. Something to do with -$ per MB ratio- not too mention still not to many people have bluray in their pc.

It's not whether the pc will read the dvd, UbiSoft may decide not to activate a region 2 binary when it's being activated on region 1 - that's the issue.

I believe Valve has done something like that - people were buying Half Life 2 from China for cheap - Valve didn't like that, so they disabled activations for games from a different region.
