Why Do I Want the DVD Multi-region Version? You can quite often buy a Region DVD movie before the same movie is at the Cinema in the UK! The discs usually work out much cheaper (espcially for special editions or Disney Movies), with more features on a disc, and a larger choice then on Region 2. Almost all discs are available with DTS soundtracks as standard.
All DVD players purchased in the UK are Region 2. Therefore, you need to modify a Region 2 machine to "multiregion" - this will then play any original DVD movie, from any region in the world.

Blu-Ray Disc
Blu-ray discs can hold five times the information of standard DVD and that extra data means your movies will now have a sharper picture that’s up to 5x the resolution of DVD in full 1080p (the shorthand name for full high definition), vivid colours and up to 7.1 channels of perfect High Definition sound.
Blu-ray also offers a wealth of special features never before possible, like picture-in-picture bonus view and internet Blu picture in connectivity, giving you access to exclusive on-line bonus materials. Plus Blu-ray players are capable of playing standard DVD's. To be able to play Blu-Ray discs, all you need is a HDTV (High Definition Television), a Blu-Ray Disc Player, HDMI cable and a Blu-Ray Disc.
