OT: Never thought I'd say it

but a big Thanks to Uncle Al for posting about region free dvd players. Picked up a toshiba and have enjoyed watching quite a few WWII flicks not in print in the US. Also picked up Wings but have not had the time to watch. Rather amazing that what is available at Amazon USA for $15+ used can be had for $5-10 USD new at Amazon UK. Have to say that the dvds from Amazon UK are much easier to open as they don't have the white security tape to peel off.

I would have to wonder if the shipping from the UK for a DVD is cheaper? I'm assuming anything shipped from outside the Continental US isn't.

 

We bought our DVD player a while back and discovered you could unlock the region free option with a code that was listed online.

Well I got 4 dvds for $44.11 including shipping from the UK. Here in the US I priced it at $88.09 without shipping

 

Also I did manage to use the proper code to unlock my US dvd player, but it didn't work for all of the region 2 dvds.

Then there is the option of ripping the DVD to your computer, stripping the region lock off it and reburning,

 

Not that "I" would do such a thing , but an option.

 

Cheers,
