Hey - I just read that they are making toys of the characters in spaced!

Some new company - no prototypes yet just designs.

Silly,

I'd be careful about hacking dvd players or drives. From what I understand, some of them can only be changed a set number of times, then they are stuck at that setting (wouldn't be an issue if it were set to region 0, but would be switching between 1 and 2).

You can get a good multi-region, multi-format DVD player for around $100. I've had a Philips one for about a year now, and I haven't had any probs with it.

And yes, Spaced is a great series. Got the box set at the same time I bought Shaun of the Dead...

But that's NOT what's called hacking - hacking is about removing that limit so you can change the region number infinitely.

Regardless, my point is still valid. Not worth quibbling over semantics.

One other thing - make sure you get a multi-region, multi-format dvd player. Even with the region modification it wouldn't play on a US tv due to the different formats (unless the tv could also show PAL). Majority of multi-region dvd players have a built in converter, but there are some that don't...

"Hack" really isn't the best word for it. Most DVD players have codes you can enter (often with the remote) that will change the region. But like I said above, it won't do you any good to change the region unless the tv the dvd player is attached to can show the PAL format.

Just do a search for multi-region dvd player on Google and you'll find several sites that sell them. I think I spent about $120 for mine, and I haven't had any probs with it.
