it does take a certain level of ... shall we say, technical awareness, if not cultural to KNOW about regions.
say, from someone that ran into the issue due to being a fanboy, or someone who travels a lot...
it wouldn't have surprised me at ALL, if they had sent cracked copies of the dvds :> oiy.
the correct thing would have been to order all the media from the correct region, shipped at massive taxpayer expense, in order to be given to the dude in person. naturally, there would be VAT/taxes going out... but i'll bet a donut nobody paid that VAT going back in ;)
me? i have a multi-region capable player. thank you philips :)
