L&C DVDs in Greece? I still can't believe it.

L&C S1 has finally arrived at Greece! With Greek subtitles and everything! I saw it myself, today at Fnac.

...It costs 55 euros. *frowns*

I'll wait to check out the prices in other stores. Perhaps will wait until Christmas, or the January sales. Otherwise, I may have to pay one of you guys to buy it and ship it over, since Dad doesn't approve of buying stuff online. Or, I don't know. I'll find a way to put my hands on that thing, I swear. And I can do without Greek subtitles, if it means I'll get it for a much lower price. I understand English just fine, thank you very much :p And if Amazon.com sells it for 30 dollars (22.5 euros), there's no way I'm paying over double the money for it.

On other news, I had a nice day today. Late wake up call, only three hours of class (two of which being Math things I'd never seen before, but managed to understand - though I had to ask the teacher for clarifications after class), then went out to The Mall with Christina, a good RL friend. There, we ran into Maria, another good RL friend who's moved to Patra for studies and I hadn't seen since July. It was nice to see her and catch up on each other's news :)

I'm still terribly behind on my online stuff. E-mail and LJ (and perhaps a bit of chatting) are the only online things I seem to be doing lately. Sigh...

That's all from me for now. Will see you around.

Anna :)

Heh.

L&C=Lois & Clark, an American TV show about Superman.

Thanks for the offer! But I'm afraid that DVDs bought in Philippines wouldn't play here :( Greece and Philippines are in different DVD zones, from what I know. (How stupid, making DVDs that don't work everywhere, or DVD players that don't read all DVDs.)

See ya,
Anna :)

*iz enlightened*

i know that show! i used to watch it when i was 8!

and yes, it does seem quite pointless to make DVD players that can't read all kinds of DVDs.

but hey, that's life for you a right old bitch.

That's what computers are for. They override all region codes there might be, or else you can just download it. But most DVD players can be cracked so they'll play all region after all. ;)

Wait - computers play all regions?? 'Cause I'll be watching the DVDs on my laptop...

*feels intrigued by THE POSSIBILITIES.*

See ya,
Anna.

I have always assumed so. Can't say for sure, but it's more than logical. Ask Annette about it, she'd know. Or just El.

Yup, El can help. *g*

It's too late now, but tomorrow I'll find where I put "DVD Region Free" and send it to you. It's a tiny program that lets you play all regions on your PC/laptop. ;)

As for you regular DVD player, what make and model is it? I can check if there's a simple hack. Mine is a Philips, and just hitting a specific series of numbers on the remote while keeping the tray open did the trick and made it region free. *g*

Thank you so much, El! :) *bows before the techie-goddess*

I don't have a regular DVD player :p My parents don't watch movies much, so the DVD players on our computers suffice.

See ya,
Anna :)
