Re: OT: Season 3 DVDs

["mudrat_26" <mudrat_26@xxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but do you guys in the US 
have multi-zone DVD players? I ask aforementioned stupid question 
because there has been talk of the government introducing legislation 
here in Aus to have them banned, limiting us to region 4 DVDs only - 
was wondering what the sitch is in other contries.

If you do have them, it's always possible to order the DVDs from 
O/S. www.blackstar.co.uk is a good site - they've got BtVS S4 and 
AtS S2 on DVD (region 2), and on 17 June released the first half of 
BtVS S6 and AtS S3 on VHS. Their prices are reasonable (after the 
exchange rates, 'cos ours sucks anyway) - and I'm going through them 
to source all my Farscape DVDs, since they're not being released in 
Aus.

cheers,
mudrat
