"Region Free" DVD Player...
Hello, Banatics!
I just purchased the "Eric Bana Sketch Show" DVD! I can't wait to see his comedic talent as an actor and writer. I've only seen a few skits from the show and it looks hilarious!
Of course, the DVD is formatted for Region 4. Can anyone recommend a good quality "Region Free" DVD player? It doesn't need to have all the "bells and whistles."
eBay has some great deals but I wanted to ask for feedback from the forum before bidding.
THANK YOU!

Banabanana, I think if you get a known brand with a good warranty you can't go
wrong.

Re: "Region Free" DVD Player...
I found a good website to get information on region free DVD players.
Quote:
Why are there different DVD Disc regions?
Motion picture studios in the USA wanted to control the release of movies around the world using DVD region codes.. Movies are released on DVD at different times around the world, typically America and Canada first, Australia and Japan 6 months later, and Europe 12 months after US release. In some instances, DVD movies are available for purchase in America and Canada before they are released in European cinemas. Due to the high quality of DVD and the movie release system used by Hollywood, 6 regions were establish to prevent people from watching Region 1 movies before they were released on Regions 2-6.
DVD Region Locking is a system used to control which DVD movies play on which DVD Players. The regions are broken down as follow:
Region 1 - The U.S., U.S. territories and Canada
Region 2 - Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland
Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong
Region 4 - Mexico, South America, Central America, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Caribbean
Region 5 - Russia (okay, former Russia), Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia
Region 6 - China
