All DVDs have a region code. All DVD players also have a region code. The code of the DVD has to match that of the player.
Region 1 means North America.
Incidentally, the entire "region" scheme is a scam to artificially segregate markets.
Yes. Region 1 DVDs are for all of North America.
well, i recently got 2 region 1 dvds (im from aus) and both worked on my 2009 model PS3 and yet they both said region 1 on the cover. BUT, it doesnt mean that some dvds still wont work on it. Really, it just depends on the dvd. Some companies make region free dvds and put on the front/back cover a certain region. Try it anyway. I hope i helped! :)
NO it will not work! Wreck NO just no work!
yes
Yes.
you can buy them in hmv on oxford street
No, they are two different regional format. Unless you have an all Region DVD Player which is not available anywhere. Your computer might be able to play these Japanese DVDs but you have to change the regional format of your computer to region 2. Setback is you cannot play Region 1 anymore on your computer.
The Sony PlayStation entertainment system lacks a DVD drive, so no, DVDs cannot be played, regardless of their region code. However, if you possess a PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3 designed to NTSC U/C (United States/Canada) games, it will be capable of playing back Region 1 DVDs. These models typically have a model number ending in 1 (eg. SCPH-50001).
Region one is for Canada, United States; U.S. territories; Bermuda, so I don't think it will work in a Region 2 DVD player.
PS2 play your region DVDs and not all regions
it is not out in the uk yet, but you can buy the us import region 1 dvd, just make sure your dvd player can play region 1 dvds.
DVDs are usually encoded with a region number. North America is number 1 and Europe is region 2. In order to play a DVD, the disc and the player need to be coded as the same region. Most US DVDs therefore won't play on most English players. There are a handful of players that ignore the region code but most are third party modifications and often will not be covered by any manufacturer's warranty. Yes, you need a multi-region DVD player to solve the region code imcompatible issue.
