Keep in mind, though, that while the DVDs that Acorn puts out (our site also features a bunch of DVDs put out by other companies that fit in with the majority of the products we make ourselves) are non-region encoded (Region 0 in non-technical terms), they *do* output an NTSC signal. Which means that they’ll *play*, but you won’t be able to *see* them unless you have a TV that can read both PAL and NTSC signals, or a DVD player that can convert the signal before it’s output.
What you might want to be looking at is a multi-region DVD player, which they make in a number of models and at different prices, from ridiculously cheap to outrageously expensive. Do some research into which models are available to you, and which ones are best for the price (some of the lower-end and previous models, like the earlier Apex players, have picture-sound sync problems). Not just so you can buy the fine products that we here at Acorn are proud to deliver [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img], but so you can check out some of the cool stuff only available in other regions (and which are uncut). This is the route I wish I’d taken, as there are a number of Hong Kong, UK and French releases that I’d love to get my mitts on, but can’t watch.
