This is not true. I have close to 100 DVDs each of Region 1 and Region 2. All bar one of the Region 1s are region coded, and 95% of the region 2s are (some are actually regions 2 and 4). These are a mix of feature films and TV series.

It is however true that Blu Ray zone coding is dying. I have a lot less blu rays, but all the ones marked Zone A are uncoded and half of the Zone B ones are (the rest are coded B as advertised).

Off topic I know, but I was conflicted about allowing incorrect information to stand.
