Contrary to first rumours about the HD-DVD system not getting region codes, the system will get them anyway. The official term for this coding system, prohibiting playback in areas that aren’t allowed to, is ‘Region Protection Coding’. A very positive term for something that will eventually lead to Europeans paying more for lesser-quality-releases that will come out months later. At least this was the case with the older DVD-standard.

PowerGlove: I love the PowerGlove. It's so bad.Here's the DVD release you've all been waiting for--The Wizard, that classic Nintendo-propaganda film starring Fred Savage is on its way. Kotaku has the infamous PowerGlove scene from the film playing on its website. It's sure to make you chuckle (I'm giving it the official "don't view while drinking a Coke" warning). All right, so I have to know. Who is going to be buying this DVD? Sadly, I must admit that I've never actually seen this film in its entirety.
