It's probably just a chip that a smart techie could take out of the DVD, or replace it with the Asian one. I've seen them do miracles with Playstations,Gamecubes,etc. But,suppose the chip is in the DVD itself[and probably is,too]. Sony was even screwing honest customers with their anti piracy crap :(

RE: DVD over sea's/B5 ses

Don`t worry, if they are bootleg - they will play on your DVD. Why? Because they are nor coded with any region code. They are zero region, they are playable on any DVD player in any country.

I bought the Matrix Boxset in Japanese and it doesn't play on my DVD players. A friend bought a Silver PS2 from Japan and when she received it she couldn't use it, there were no refunds allowed so she now uses it as a ornament. :lol: Buyer beware..

b5 from China worked fine for me. Just couldn't read the season discs. So I had to find out which colour was for what season. *shrugs* took me about 5 minutes. Well worth buying it this way. Saved a butt load of money

Hey Finder,

alot of the cheap DVD players can be "hacked" to play DVD's from all regions. I have a cheap Aspire DVD player (AD-900) from Future Shop that I use especially to play DVD's that are not region 1. It has played everything I've thrown at it. Since my TV can accept PAL signals along with NTSC, I cannot comment on what signal is sent to the TV when playing PAL DVD's. So if your TV can only accept NTSC signals, and you stick in a PAL DVD, you can probably play it, but your TV might not display it correctly.

If you want to check which DVD players can be "hacked" go here:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks

Just type in the player manufacturer (ie. Sony) and it will show you all the different models that can be hacked. That way, when you are shopping for a DVD player, you will know what to buy.

Hope this helps.

lucky for me the b5 dvd's seem to work on any DVD player. Thank goodness. Though DVD's I bought in Europe (when I was there) only seem to work on cheap ass DVD players or my computer DVD player.
