I know it is hard for us who live in the UK and other countries that arn't region 1 as more DVDs that I like or want come out in the states and not here.
That's why I have to order most of Shannen's DVDs off Amazon because they only come out in the states, but I have got lucky with some of them as some of the films Shannen is in have come out on DVD in the UK.
I still had to order those off Amazon as I couldn't find them in shops.
So I should get Growing the Big One soon on DVD as it's on order from the states and on it's way.
So I think I got kind of lucky that I have a laptop that will play Region 1 DVDs, but I carn't have region 1 videos as I don't have a region 1 video player.
