In addition to region coding you must also pay attention to the video format.
US DVDs are mastered in NTSC, UK are mastered in PAL.
If you have a DVD player that can handle both formats (more common there than here in the US), or you play the DVDs on your computer, you'll have no problem playing US DVDs.

I'm no authority on this stuff , but I'm gonna act like I am anyway . So said ... The whole Pal/NTSC kafuffle ? You don't need to worry about it DSP ( you don't mind if I call you DSP do you , it sounds better than Mr penis ) , our superior English DVD players ( and TVs ) convert from their puny system no probs . The issue of Region coding is also no problem for us mighty Brits : It's been my experience that most American discs ( if not all ) are Region 0 ( uuencoded ) while the same can not be said in reverse . A fair old number of European DVDs are Region coded , thus baffling the attempts of our Yankee cousins to watch our higher grade smut . So buy away !
On a different topic . Scott do you have those new Sarah Young titles yet ? The price at the official site is way exorbitant - no chance I'll be paying that - but Bill does oh so tempt me with tales of their excellence . Any word on a possible pricing and/or release date ?

hmmmm, cheapest I know of is 40,00 euro each (if you are looking for the brandnew ones); old City Lights are avail relatively cheap (10 to 15 euro each); EFA titles should still be avail through their website.
Not to steal any sales from Scott, I got an e-mail from "The New Sarah Young Shop" today. They have a new site open here. The price of the "Goddess Of Love" series is back down to the pre-order price of 69.95EUR.
If I was in Europe, I think I'd want the PAL version that you could get from the Sarah Young Store rather than the NTSC version that Scott will be carrying. However, if you were in the US, I'd probably recommend that you wait to see what Scott can do.
Thanks for the info guys . :) So Hans Moser is in business with his daughter ! Nothing wrong with that I guess , but in the porno biz ? I don't know , sounds a little creepy somehow .
Bill , that site gives me a security warning when I visit , seems that the certificate they have isn't entirely to my browsers liking . Think I'll give them a miss for a while , besides 70 Euros , yeowch ! ( anyone know how to make the Euro symbol with a keyboard ? ) The difference between NTSC and PAL picture quality doesn't even register for me now with porn . It's like I'm in some sort of altered state of viewing , or maybe my standards of acceptable film/video craft have slumped so far in relation to smut that this is a minor complain . Whatever , it really doesn't matter anymore . Now mainstream , that's a different matter .
I heard from Hans today, and he told me that he's happy selling the "Goddess of Love" series on his new online store, likes being the only one to provide it, and he'll let me know if/when he changes his mind.
He also told me that the "Private Fantasies" series if not completely out of stock, is close to it. I'm trying to get at least some of whatever is left.
