I want a multi-region DVD player in my room.

I have a region 2 Toshiba one and that's the one that I watch all my DVDs on.

I haven't even looked at the DVD player on my PS2 but now that I want Region 1 DVDs, I'm wondering whether I should get the DVD Region X.

The only problem is, I've read that you need a blank memory card.

BLANK!?!?

This can't be right since a memory card costs 25 quid!

If it's wrong, how much space do you actually need on a memory card?

I've just had a look, and there is no simple way of hacking your DVD without starting to mess around with the thing. Opening cover, flashing it, connecting to PC, i've seen lots of ways but they are all very risky.

Get the DVD Region X (or action replay 2 v2).

My model is SD-2109.

It's a Toshiba. I think that's the model anyway. It's got it written on the front so I guess it must be. :-D

Well I wouldn't waste my money on a remote.

I would just use the pad, and if that proved too difficult I may get that free one that SR have.

8Mb = 8192k

I'm not even sure that Region X actually *needs* a memory card at all.

You can update Region X to work with the new DVD drivers suppied with the official Sony remote using codes from the Region X web site (http://www.dvdregionx.com/), and then a memory card is recommended - otherwise you'd need to re-enter the codes every time.

But if you're using the on-board drivers and a DualShock, then a memory card may not be required at all, because you boot from the supplied CD each time.

DVD Region X requires 12k of memory card space.



That doesn't sound like a lot. Isn't there something like 8000k on the memory card?

Or is it 800?

All these technical terms. Are they really necessary? (No answer needed) :-D
