Brittas in Region 4! News Posted by John Hoare on 30th March 2005, 01:03 I can’t believe we’ve missed this. As you know, Region 2 releases of Brittas have reached series 6, with the seventh and final series being released on the 23rd May. Erm, did you know that Series 1 was released in Region 4 last year on the 11th August 2004, with the same extras as the Region 2 release but with a different cover? And that Series 2 is due to be released on 5th May 2005? Well, you do now. I think seven months late must be some kind of record.
The UK Brittas DVDs are encoded for all regions. They’ll play in any DVD-ROM drive – even American ones.
“The UK Brittas DVDs are encoded for all regions. They’ll play in any DVD-ROM drive – even American ones.” Why did no one mention this before? If I had been told this at the start, that the DVDs would work on my DVD-ROM drive, I could have done something about it! All those times I emailed the company, asking if they would make a Region 1 Brittas DVD – if I had known this, I would have given them *my* credit card number!
Manda is absolutely correct. I’ve just checked. So why the bloody hell does *everywhere* list it as Region 2 – including the back cover of the DVD case? Idiots!
That’s really strange. I wonder if it’s just encoded incorrectly? Maybe it’s some cock-up at the pressing plant that they aren’t aware of and it’s SUPPOSED to be region 2? Either way, amazon.co.uk here I come.
I liked it. As I was browsing through the Kochanski image section of that site (as I am wont to do) I saw an image with the title “kock_big.jpg” This amused me greatly. Carry on.
