This is probably better off in the Suppliers forums mate. Check out the Suppliers thread in there for some companies. I'd reccommend www.dvd.co.uk personally. Also check out our Classifieds here.

Welcome to the forums!!! :)

UK = Region 2
America = Region 1

You want http://www.play.com which is excellent and good value for both region DVDs.

USA and Canada - R1
UK, Europe, Japan, South Africa and the Middle East - R2
Hong Kong and South East Asia - R3
Australia, New Zealand and South America - R4
Russia, Africa and India - R5
China - R6
Reserved - R7
Aircraft - R8

Some DVDs don't use regional coding though. Pirates definitely don't.

All DVDs on sale in the UK with BBFC certificates are coded for R2, and many are also coded for other regions as well.

www.play247.com and www.under18.org.uk are usually the cheapest online places to buy them from. play247 also sell region 1 so you need to be sure which version you are buying. www.********************* is a handy site for finding the cheapest supplier of a particular disc.

Watch out for R0 or R2 DVDs that are NTSC if your player or TV can't handle an NTSC signal of any kind.

There are a number of places but USE THE LINKS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE - they pay for teh forums.

amazon.co.uk -expensive, charge delivery., great cs.
Play - little cheaper, delivery inclu in prices,
dvdcrave - auzzie, but there are dual encoded dvd (states which are on teh site). V good service (and quick) plus they offer a 5% disc for forums members (check teh bargain forum).
under18.org.uk - cheapish, they are okay, not the best.
tesco.com - okay, not the best.

If Iwere you I would try to get hold of a hack, so you can buy R2 and R4 dvds.
