    Atleast the PAL version I have isn't region coded even though it says
    regions 2-6 on the case. And yes PAL and NTSC come into effect with DVD's.
    PAL versions that are on sale now aren't working properly so you might want
    to wait if you're buying one of those. I bought one from a store near to me
    and they said that I could come and change it to a working one once they are
    released in about a month.

    Really? I bought a region 2-6 PAL version, and it refuses to play on my
    dad's laptop, which is currently set to region 1 (and he refuses to change
    it, since he can only change it 2 times anymore)..

    Looks like I have to take back what I said. I tested DT DVD on my DVD-rom
    drive set on region 1 and it worked perfectly but I now tested some other R2
    DVDs and they work fine too so it looks like my drive runs all R2 discs no
    matter what the settings are. If I put in a R1 disc and change the drive to
    R2 it doesn't run. Just says that it isn't coded for that region. Sorry
    about that mistake. I only had tried that trick on R1 discs so I didn't know
    that all R2s work perfectly.

    Howdy all,
    I think I'm gonna go to the St. Paul show instead of the Chicago show.
    Ticketmaster.com doesn't seem to have any idea that Savatage is going to be
    in St. Paul. For you guys that already have tickets, where did you get
    them?

    How Would You Like to......

    1. Drastically Reduce Personal, Business and Capital gains taxes?
    2. Create a six figure income every 4 months?
    3. Legally make yourself and your assets completely judgment-proof,
    seizure-proof, lien-proof, divorce-proof, attorney-proof, IRS-proof,
    and become completely insulated?

    TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT YOUR LIFE.....

    Do you think you are paid what you are worth?
    Will you be set to retire in the next few years?
    Do you control the course of your day, or does someone watch over you?

    The fact is we have many people in our enterprise that earn over 50k per
    month from the privacy of their own homes, and are retiring in 2-3 years(wealthy)
    and having total freedom-both personal and financial.

    Many have been conditioned to believe it must be illegal, immoral or unethical
    to ever earn any real profits from our efforts. The sad truth
    is,it's been designed that way by the ultra-rich and ultra powerful since
    before any of us were born.If you are interested in radically changing your financial
    and personal future,

    I invite you to call:

    TOLL FREE 1-800-720-9275 EXT 1970

    **Only Highly Motivated People Should call**

    This is NOT Multi-Level Marketing.

    if that album struck your fancy, i would also suggest checking out their
    album "Diary". fantastic stuff. reminds me a lot of starflyer 59, only
    with better vocals & more intense drum work. see what you think.
