Heyas,
You may be able to hack your DVD player (via it's setup menu) to make it Region 0 (to make it play ALL Regions of discs). Just go here:
http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacksSearch your make & model of machine there. In all probability there's a hack for your machine (it's only the VERY early players that need a hardware hack, via being chipped). Follow the instructions specific to your machine, then you can play discs of ALL regions!
Frankly, I don't know why the film/distribution companies even BOTHER with Region Coding any more - it's only so they can manipulate release dates. But if we peeps can alter our machines (and even hack our DVD drives with altered firmwares to make them RPC-1 or Region 0), and we can buy via mail order discs from other countries, again, WHY do they bother?!
