can computers play dvds from any region I'm not sure if such DVD drives are available, but mine (which is fairly new) asked me during the software setup what region I wanted to configurate it to. I can change it 4 more times. I guess that means the drive itself is multi-regional, just the software isn't. |

Most can but set to one after a certain amount of times a DVD is played (the last region to be played is what the ROM will set itself to)...
There are patches around the net for this sort of thing but I'm yet to find one for myself...

Well, if anyone has a RELIABLE and SAFE solution for the region problem on DVD drives (or DVD rewriter drives, like mine), we'd be REALLY grateful. I'd hate to buy 6 of the same drives so I can be 'region-free'  |

I'm sure after seeing how their media was RAPED by american dubbing companies, they started subbing their stuff themselves. If not ... *surfs to google, types in bittorrent+anime and hits enter* |

I can't understand how people in US who like Sailor Moon can survive without Stars which is the most touching (and the best) season of all... :s and dubbed in english :s.... I always, since I was little, saw sailor moon in japanese with english subtitles and read the manga in japanese (well not read but I saw all the volumes )..... (and out of topic ) I think that sailor stars in the manga is too deep.... not anyone can understand it very well at first |

There are some decent dubbing companies in the US, as there are some decent dubs over here. Cowboy Bebop is a pretty good one for example. Also, the dubbing companies a private institutions and are not fundded by the government. So tax dollars don't go towards them. |
