    If your player's manual says it can only play region 4, then no. Generally, you need a multi-region dvd player for discs from overseas.

  Hmm. It's £49.88 (just changed?) and then you'll have to add the shipping of £3.59 (1 DVD + the per-delivery cost) on top of that as well. So, that's £53.47 which is about $96/$97 AUD.

  Still better than retail around here, though.

    don't forget, they chop off the VAT during checkout (17% ish from memory….)

  All universal dvds from UK are dual coded region 2 and 4 so it will work on Aus dvd players

    Not necessarily true - I have a fair number of UK purchased DVDs that don't work with Aussie purchased players. Many players these days support multi-region, but not all. Usually a quick search of the net reveals a code to turn the player into a multi-region unit, but I know of at least one LG player that simply cannot be hacked for multi-region (I bought one last year by accident, lucky DSE let me exchange it and spend $10 more for the bigger one, except it doesn't play VCD which was rather annoying).

    Blu-ray is a different story, Aussie and UK Blu-ray discs are all Region B which means they play fine on any Aussie unit. Don't buy Blu-rays from the USA unless you are quite sure that your player (and any players you're thinking to buy in the future!) can play multi-region.

    EDIT: I just noticed you said 'universal' DVDs, maybe you are referring to Universal Studios, who usually release DVDs that play in Region 2 & 4. Point taken, even though I didn't get it immediately :)
