Region 3 - DVD's

Hi All

I have often wondered why Region 3 dvd's seem to be cheaper when compared against region 1 and 2.

Does anyone know the reason why?

I have a multi-region dvd player and have though about ordering some region 3 dvd's from cd-wow.

    Go for it! If you have multi region you have nothing to be worried about. Cheaper because rarer probs. and maybe not in english :)

    In my experience they tend to be low on extras, often have a lower-quality transfer than Western DVDs of the same movies, and often make you sit through several minutes of ads before they start playing :). Many are also aimed at the Chinese market, where many people can't pay Western prices for luxuries.

    I have a few, but only because they're Asian movies which weren't available in the West at the time I bought them.
