Not clear if they ship overseas. Read the FAQ.
It is region-free though.
That region-block thing really sticks in my craw. I can't send DVDs down under. How did the film companies collude with the player makers to swing that?
Syzygy.
i remember buying a video of The Jungle Book (the Disney Animation) for my Niece whilst in new york - they still made money in the UK by releasing it to cinema every 7 years or so to a new audience - it cost me a small fortune to have it converted when i got home.Damn!
oh-well, long time ago and i still watch it but this 'region' stuff is a scam.
It's all about marketing. They release it cheap in areas like China or the 3rd world, but make it up on the volume. We pay more. Of course, some in the East are quite adept at making copies & selling them back here.
There are personal-use copy programs available that will strip the region code. Try C-NET.
Ironically, your PC should play any region DVD. Hence the copy capability.
i was talking about the pre-(everyone owns one)computer age (wow - everyone owns one now)
not had a problem playing any dvd for quite a while now (there were always ways anyways).
ps. can i get some sugar with that please, Aristo?
I'm up. Sugar AND whisk(e)y perhaps? We can't watch the European and Aussie DVDs here. Amazon is usually kind enough to note incompatibility. As long as Colombian coffee beans aren't incompatible with my grinder...
