Since our DVDs come from Western Europe and Australia and New Zealand, all of our DVDs are PAL-formatted. Most of them are Region 2 or Region 4 releases, while some are Region 0. In order to view our DVDs in USA, Canada, Mexico and other countries, please make sure that your DVD player will support both the DVD's format (PAL) and it's Region coding.
The Multi-Region DVD players were very expensive and almost impossible to find in USA just a few years ago. That has changed recently - you can now get a decent Multi-Region DVD player for under $40 at most of the major US retailers, and you can get a good one from about $60 and up. However, inquiring about the Multi-Region DVD Players at your neighborhood store would be useless, since most salespeople are unaware about them, even though their stores do carry such models.
Also, some of our buyers may already own such a model, without even knowing it! Here are a couple of places where you can check if your DVD players is PAL compatible and wether it could be easily coded to be Multi-Region:
