    What type of dvds are you buying? Movie dvds or "data" dvds for recording stuff?

    Many separate DVD players can be hacked to allow the playback of DVDs from any region, and there is free software available so that DVDs from any region can be played back on your PC. A quick trawl of the web via a search engine should yield some results.

    As phatbear says, DVD region 2 covers the UK.
