    I'll tell ya what to do..its the easiest thing . U gotta know someone from America , even if u barely know them. Tell them what u want...and they'll send em over. Else , im sure you coulf get real cheap ones on-line - if your into the whole buying online thing.
    Hope that helped. <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

    There may be a problem with that.

    While I can get you an address for DVD's here, the problem is that DVD's are encoded for certain locales. So buying a DVD in the USA may not work if ran in a DVD created in Europe.

    If you still want that address let me know and I'll dig it out

    Getting a standalone DVD player chipped to play all regions is easy. Doing the mod on a PC dvd player is even easier!

    I have a DVD.
    I buy them online from www.amazon.com (their english branch only does books at the mo!)
    I just bought 6 nice dvds and the price including shipping was 171 dollars
    The order is below for info...

    That comes to about 100 irish which is 16-17 Irish each. this is about a fiver cheaper EACH then the highstreet in Dublin.

    65 dollars was shipping alone, so if you know someone in the states you can get them to mail them to you.

    Forgot one thing.
    Apparently if you create two profile logins in Windows and set the DVD in one to
    Zone 1 and in the other to Zone 2 you can play both type but I have yet to try this.
    Otherwise I think its a software crack.
