I'm from the UK and thinking of buying some US porn. Do they come with Region Coding like they do with regular films?

Do all studio produces Region Free DVD or only some studio? Who should I avoid?

As you may know, UK have a Region Coding 2, while it is Region 1 in the US.

I believe almost all porn releases are region free.

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.

DSP, Scott Kinney imports his stuff into the United States. You should be able to get all the stuff he offers from Euro distributors.

And in your native format, no less.

That said, I have shipped to Europe and Asia.

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 ?

Not yet, Lee. I'm at the tender mercies of Herr Moser and his daughter. I'll check in with them to see if they are still on track....

Lee,

shops around Germany sell these for very small money.

Maybe I can be of some help. Just let me know which ones you are looking for.

Lee, Thanks for the info. That's one of the reason why I am in buying from the US. The other reason is the fantastic exchange rate.

With prices in the region of half of what it is here....

Checked out some Platnium X DVD, being $18 in the US it really is a good time to buy in the US.

I know the European version are more prone to having regional coding in them, but with the Euro being very weak at the moment, it is expensive to buy.

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.
