My DVD player is supposedly region free and can play PAL. I am in the
U.S. and want to try renting 1 or 2 Region 2 DVDs before buying any.
Netflix has only Region 1, and Nicheflix.com is too expensive for my
experiment. Are there any good sources for renting Region 2 DVDs in the
U.S.? Thanks

Cant think of any in all honesty as, before they were US released, I had
looked into it to try and get/rent Dr Who DVD's. In the end I bought copies
from Blackstar UK, TG now Dr who is avail in R1 hehe. Your best bet might be
to check UK ebay and just buy a used cheap DVD to experiment.

In a similar quandry, I ended up buying one used off eBay for little more
time/effort/money than I would have expended trying to rent one.

Probably not as US is region 1. However, Ezydvd in Adelaide, SA have
frequent sales; you should be able to pick up one or two region 4 titles
for AU$8.00 each to experiment with.

Additionally, many titles are dual R2/R4 encoded.

Their web site is:
