Andre, most DVD players can be converted to play region 1 encoded discs for
very little outlay. Try http://www.vcdhelp.com go to the DVD player
compatibilty page and see if theres a hack for your model. If you're lucky,
you may have a model that can be converted with a remote control code.

For example, this is how to convert my player

Too bad, mine has a chip inside with the region code so I can't change
region with my remote. I heard that it is possible to put a new chip
in my dvd (Sony DVP-S725D) but I still haven't found someone able to
do so.

Great site though, thanks. If you're interested in dvd's, check out
this site, one of my favs: www.dvdreview.com

Or how Frank got run over by a big ol bus he somehow didn't see while riding
his bicycle and spent his time in the hospital bed racing on his laptop with
a wheel attached!   ROFLMAO  ;)

Actually, it was the guy "rick" hired to see to it that Frank had an
"accident" who drove that bus....."Dickie Kamschapt" or something :-)

That was true Scott.  I really got hit by a public bus while doing some
bicycle (looking back at the thing it was my fault).  I did log in on the
NROS with a portable PC there.  I had the GP1 wheel for Thrustmaster just
for that (you know it had analogy paddles behind it).  I still have the
wheel sitting on top of one of my shelves because it looks darn cool with
the paddles and the little cord, with the wheel itself all squishy and with
a large diameter.  Looks like a real wheel.
