I know a way of stopping motti: unleashing a wild NileQT on him...
I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it...
How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...

I knew someone would catch that reference. One of my all-time faves. The novella was great, too.

If I misquoted, I apologize.

Sorry, Motti. I'm feelin' for ya. I guess I'm just happy that I can watch it whenever I want even if it is a VHS copy. At least it's a relatively newer VHS copy.

Motti, I can't remember if you've answered this before or not... can your VHS player read NTSC tapes?

Must be nice. Does anyone know if U.S. electronics stores ever sell stuff like that? Cross-platform VHS players or region-free DVD players? If they do, they never really advertise it as such.

dont think so either, i think its coz the best dvd's are Region 1 - NA - so they dont need the region free dvd players, whereas europe needs region free dvd players, coz region 2 dvd's are not as good as the region 1.

Bossk, head over to dvdtalk.com. There's links from there to HKFlix.com, who sell region free DVD players, including one that has x-y scaling so you can compensate for overscan and see PAL discs in their proper aspect ratio.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

PAL discs are getting better and better, yes, but still not as good as Region 1 DVD's.

PAL discs? I thought PAL and SECAM and all that jazz only applied to VHS.

Oh, never heard Region 2 and PAL used interchangeably like that.
