I hate the lack of an edit button.
Wow , sometimes I feel lucky to live in Japan :shock:
But in the other hand , I hate to know that it's close to impossible to me , go to anime cons and meet some org members ...

The subtitles are JAPANESE subtitles...then theres english ones that tell you what they say, but those can be turned off. The Japanese ones are the ones that can't be removed. =\ I still envy you though reguardless, because we get so many craptastic releases over here(Sailor Moon being one of them like I said).[/u]

Thats not entirely true.
thats not the point, DVD buying should always be encouraged.
Umm YES that is the point. And personally, I don't feel this way. I've seen DVD releases that are horrible quality, by far worse than fansubs you can get. I personally don't think you should throw your money away on a piece of shit. If people keep doing that then theres no incouragement to provide the consumers (us) with a quality product.
oh no? well if you don't buy DVDs then there's no incentive for them to release anything in the first place.

thats what seems to have happened with the craphole i call home, have you see how much anime gets released in britain?

just to clarify how bad the situation is:
no DBZ series at all,
no FLCL
no escaflowne: a girl in gaia

i could go on for quite some time.

personally i don't care how bad the quality is, i just want to be able to WATCH anime on my couch rather than my crappy computer chair with a missing wheel, or have you forgotten that watching is what it's for?

Well, you can also use the title options / rectangle, to cover the subs, geez.

You are on the internet, you do not have to be restricted by the official releases of one country.

Import dvds from the US like everyone else does. It's cheaper that way in any case.

(You also wont have the footage quality problems that you get with crappy PAL releases)

Agreed, all of my anime is Region 1 (NTSC). Providing you have a multiregion drive/player, it's just like watching a normal DVD.

A good starting place (although I suspect there are much cheaper places to buy from) is http://www.dc-dvd.co.uk

I'm also restricted to what I can buy because I don't have a credit card (just a Solo, Debit card) but these guys accept it. They also sell TV's and multi region DVD players (got my Sony from there a while back, a pretty good price also)

As for PC DVD drives, you could try http://www.overclockers.co.uk They are one of the cheaper hardware retailers I've found that accepts Solo, they are also very good with deliveries too. They come retail boxed and what not as you'd expect. Some drives they offer a region free modding charge for £5.00.

Alternatively Liteon drives are easy to region mod, it's a simple Windows program that turns the region counter off (actually most of the time with drives it's as simple as flashing new or modified firmware).

Liteon drives usually come bundled with PowerDVD, and a friend of mine in Chicago told me that she got Cyberlink Medi@show bundled with hers (an editor, don't know too much about it, but looks a bit like Windows movie maker).

If your DVD player software is limiting what regions you can play, you can download DVD genie from http://www.inmatrix.com/files/dvdgenie_download.shtml and that basically disables the software region lock and allows configuration of the software.

I can't link you to the DVD drive firmware page, because I'm not sure if it's one of those topics that's best avoided.

But if you decide to flash the firmware, you should do so at your own risk!, There's always a possibility you can choose the wrong model and kill your drive altogether



So there you have it, providing you have some money, that should be mostly everything you need to get started.
