No, they are definitely not. You can switch the region of your computer a few times. But after 5 times on Windows XP, you can't switch back any more.

I'm also not talking about players that play VCDs (though mine will do that as well). We're talking about players that will actually play DVDs from other countries.

Entire Series Boxed Set

Postby chcoppoc » Mon Jul 30, 2007 3:29 am

Here is a link to the entire G1 series plus the movie boxed set. It is the Chinese distribution but I have watched every episode perfectly on my Wal-Mart $25 Magnavox DVD player. The one downside is that by default the audio is not in english so you must select English on your DVD remote, but it works fine after that. Very affordable too!

Not sure if anyone else mentioned that.

As all i know in Luxembourg it's legal to sell Multyregional DVD player I got mine in a HiFi from Pioneer and I will wait also when we get Multyregional Bluray player and when they are much cheaper.
I know that it's illegal in Germany and in Belgium so I just say viva Luxembourg. 8)

Hmmm... looks like I'll have to get a new DVD player... my cheapy Magnavox MDS115 doesn't seem to have a hack :(

I'm happy with the TF eps I've got... but I would like to get some of the UK Doctor Who DVDs to work :-)

RCE

Postby shoelessrm » Mon Jul 30, 2007 9:26 am

Can anyone shed some light on the RCE (Regional Code Enhancing) which is a new system developed by the MPAA which prevents consumers with region free DVD players from watching Region 1 DVDs and does this affect the Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player?

On the Xbox if you have a "Gameshark" and load the gameshark on the Xbox. There is an option where you can change the region code settings to watch any region movies without actually changing the settings on your hardware. You can also watch DVD+-R or DVD DL +- movies on the Xbox if you using software like Nero or DVD shrink...

this also works on the ps2, although they may require specific versions of the "hack" program. Dunno, its been a long time since i've had to watch a dvd froma different region
