What is region coding?
Imposed by the film studios due to the staggered theatrical release of movies worldwide and to protect exclusive markets, region coding was designed as a method of ensuring discs would be playable only in certain geographical locations.
- Region 1: The US, US territories, Canada
- Region 2: UK, Europe, Japan, Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, Greenland (Our DVDs available here on ebay)
- Region 3: Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong
- Region 4: Mexico, South America, Central America, Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Caribbean
- Region 5: Russia (former USSR), Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, Mongolia
- Region 6: China
Note to US, Canadian & Worldwide Buyers: Our DVDs are region 2 UK & Europe so please ensure your player is compatible as I am not responsible for this, and will not honour refunds for this reason.
How can I be sure a disc will play on my equipment?
European law demands that any DVD player bought within the EU (prior to any modification) will have R2 set as it’s default region. Any R2 disc available from us should therefore be compatible with your player.
What is Region 0?
Also known as ‘Region All’ or ‘Region Free’, Region 0 discs are compatible with any DVD player as they are specifically enabled for all countries
.
How do I watch DVDs on my PS2?
You should have no difficulties viewing R2 discs with your PS2. Like DVD players purchased within the EU, European PS2 consoles are set to play R2 discs as default.
