Austrailian DVDs ?

I wish to order Rounders on DVD, but it is not out in the UK. Even though it is out on region 1 I do not have a multi-region DVD player , but I noticed that many austrailian DVDs are region 2 & 4 compatible. I found Rounders priced at $20.00 (£7.12) on an Austrailian site but do not know if it is compatabile with my region 2 player.

Can anyone help me please ????

just see if your player can be hacked - problem solved

It looks like region 4 only.
Check the region hacks forum on this site and post to see if there is a hack available for your machine.

I bought many DVDs when I lived in New Zealand. Some of these are dual region 2 & 4, most are region 4 only.

It would be unwise to buy an Aussie/Kiwi disc if you can only play region 2. Your best option is to hack your existing player to make it play any region.
