Hi Revscene,

I am looking to buy a DVD as a Christmas gift for a friend living in Asia (Macau specifically.) So far, I am able to find the US version of the DVD, but not one that is region specific to Asia.

Do the DVD regions apply to computers/laptops/tablets or only to DVD players? Sorry for the noob question. Thanks in advance!

regions on laptops can generally be changed about 5 times before it gets locked on to that region

[Hehe]

Most DVD players that were produced during the last decade comes region free as default. I wouldn't worry too much.

if they are in asia, chances are their dvd players are region free

People still use DVDs? :seriously:

But yeah in Macau their DVD player, if they still have one, will most likely be region free.

Haha funny you ask because I'm having a hard time finding the DVD.

Look for the VHS version. Then you wouldn't have this region lock problem.

if they're using their computer/laptop/tablet then just download anydvd for them, it'll bypass the region code

for the price of the dvd you might be able to get them a blu-ray player :) they're like $20-$30 now superstore no tax days ;)

It's a bigger problem than you might think! I was recently given a music CD as a gift and there's nothing I can do with it, unless I take my PS3 out of storage and play it through that... A better option is to pirate the MP3s :lawl:
