Default Is there any way i can watch Region 1 DVD\'s on a region 2 DVD player?

I'm trying to find a DVD which i've been searching to find for ages. But when i find it on Amazon, it's a Region 1 DVD.

I was just wondering if there is any possible way for it to work on my DVD player? (which is region 2).

Any help please???

Unfortunately it's impossible to watch a region 1 dvd player on a region 2 player. you would need a region 1 dvd player or a multi-region dvd player... im think you can them quite cheap.

What kind of DVD player do you have? If you google your product number with say 'multi region code' You'll probably be given a code that will make your player into a multi region player. Dont tell anyone but I did it with mine..

It's not a film, it's Sabrina the teenage witch Season 2.

It's not coming out in the UK until later this year.

In America, they've got loads of the series' out.

And on Amazon someone was selling Season 2 for £11.90

Total being £13.99

Imagine the price when it first comes out in the UK.

Anyway, the DVD was region 1. And i was annoyed.

But...i'm planning on ordering it now, and (hopefully) it should work now.
