DVD Xchange

I have an R2 player modified for R1 discs. I can trade in unwanted R2's here in the UK but I can't trade in R1's (the shops can't resell).

I hate getting ripped of by shrewd bargain hunters - anyone interested in straight exchanges? UK post would be easier but I can manage the US too (my brother lives there and I go regularly on Holiday).

At the moment on R1 for exchange I have:

Payback, Quills, Saving Private Ryan (not the DTS version), Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Platoon, Enemy at the Gates, The Usual Suspects (no the special edition).

On R2 I have:

The Thin Red Line (1999).

Any offers? PM your available exchanges - I can't say I'll want them though. ;)

R1 is region 1 - USA and Canada. R1 discs only play on R1 machines.

R2 is Europe.

You can mod players to be multiregion.

@ Gruntboy : Is your dvd player is a deck or rom ?

Why not use a region crack and watch all the dvds regardless of their region.

Ah sorry , i misunderstood your point . (edit)
