Computer drives are not region free.
They allow you to switch regions completely a total of 3 times. A fourth switch is permanent.
I've put a lot of effort into trying to play the DVDs over here in Europe while still playing my DVDs from Canada, and ultimately I just had to buy a DVD player. Thankfully for me, even though it says right in the instruction booklet that it will only play region 2 (Europe and Japan) DVDs, it is region free. Apparently DVD players in Europe (or at least Germany) are just region free. But in North America, you may have to pay upwards of $200 CAD for a region-free player.

I knew it was too good to be true. Hmmm, so what would be easier? Ordering a box-set from Australia, and then finding a region-free player that's actually affordable, or firing up the burner and downl.....oops! never mind.... Why is it that a series produced in Canada is unavailable here? Ever try and find Rocket Robin Hood on DVD? Now there's some classic sci-fi.  |

Because they're plotting against us. It's all a massive conspiracy!

Because they're plotting against us. It's all a massive conspiracy! I think you could be right! Do you think it's maybe the Australians? Not only will they have all of Starhunter season 1 on DVD, but they're also gonna have Andromeda on DVD as well. And all this has happened now that I'm one year past the cut-off age to emigrate there. There's something rotten about all this......  |

So has anyone made an order to Australia yet? I'm just waiting to see if my work can get me a deal on a region-free DVD player, myself, then my order's in.

Ordered my box-set from HMV Australia. `Got here (to Canada) in 5 days! And it came cheaper than some UPS packages have from the USA. Region 4, PAL format. Plays fine on my old G3 iBook. Quality isn't much better than those cheap Platinum Disc releases were, but at least it's the complete season. It's all the original, uncensored episodes, as seen in Canada, complete with rude language, etc... All of Rudy's opening monologues are included.
