[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 225646, member: 1991"] Probably not multi-region, either. I'd like to strangle the person who invented different regions for DVDs, to make us in Australia (and a few other countries) pay a lot more for them. DVDs produced in the US and Canada are MUCh cheaper than DVDs we buy here. It also has meant that DVDs not released here, but not multi-region, are ones we don't get to watch. Unless we happen to have acquired a secretly multi-region player... They aren't allowed to advertise on the box or in the shops if a particular DVD player is multi-region. Any other industry doing this would be subject to prosecution under our strict laws against anti-competition practices. For some reason, the DVD industry has been exempt. Maybe one more thing to run via our new government. They seem to be kicking **** on other issues... sorry, didn't mean to hijack this. Let's get back to a darn good book and now it seems, an even better movie?? (just kidding - documentary, maybe) sorry, I'm feeling a bit flippant this morning. Marg [/QUOTE]
