    Protectionism?? Why are "most things cheaper abroad"? No I must resist the urge to argue this point. :cool: (In this case of course it's not about saving money it's about speed .)

    DVD Region Packaging Differences? R2 people help!

    I am lost for words that are allowed on a public noticeboard!! :devil: I can understand the government wanting to charge duty to business importers who intend to re-sell, but private individuals for their own use??? Sorry, I know you don't make the laws, I shall stop now before I go into a rant...

    DVD Region Packaging Differences? R2 people help!

    Yeah, seems so. To reinforce the spot-check theory, I bought something on Ebay from a seller in Seattle........to insure it he had to declare the correct amount on the outside...$100. It sailed through in 5 days with no interference from Customs. As the saying goes,"You win some, you lose some"...

    DVD Region Packaging Differences? R2 people help!

    Mmmm, seems to be done on a spot-check basis by Customs. I bought my S3 from Play.com, it was clearly marked on the outside of the package with the value.......and I did have to pay import duty!! :mad:

    DVD Region Packaging Differences? R2 people help!

    Yes, I have read the Region-free comments as well. Don't know. If you haven't got a multi-region player yet, I wouldn't buy one until you get your R1 set and try it. I always use Play.com and haven't had trouble but some recommend Amazon.com. The postage time WILL probably be a couple of weeks...

    DVD Region Packaging Differences? R2 people help!

    I have S1 & S2 in Region 2 and S3 in Region 1 so I can answer your question. Yes the outside box of the R1 is a little shinier. The inside box and the discs themselves are identical. Also the R2 boxes have our little circle of certification on them (12). None of this really detracts from how...

    Yes, I am one of those driven to buying a multi-region DVD player and getting my S3 from the US. Looks like I may have to do the same for S4!! What they don't mention is the British Customs import tax! :mad:
