In fact, many UK DVD users have multi-region players and most UK TVs are
multi-standard. In this instance though, the DeepDiscountDVD price is a lot
more than can be obtained from UK suppliers -

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean. You click on the link and then
search for your DVDs. WHat's the problem?

Oh. My crystal ball is in the shop, and since he's posting from a
..com address...

 

What has .com got to do with anything???

All that means is "commercial".

It means he didn't see the poster had posted the question to
uk.media.dvd, which perfectly explained why the poster was asking for a
title that'd been out for four years.

U.S. commercial, last I heard -- just as ".mil" means U.S. military
and ".gov" means U.S. government. Though there are non-US companies
that have registered .com domains, the default is .co.uk, and .gov.uk
for government(*). Examples: http://www.royal.gov.uk/ and
http://amazon.co.uk . The latter lists the DVDs in question at

though in NTSC region 1 format.

Actually, I did. But since the spelling and capitalization were,
well, eccentric, and the poster used a .com address (even though it
might have been faked), I just assumed it was part of massive
crossposting.

If the poster wanted Region 2, why did he not say so? A Google for
"yes, prime minister" "region 2"
turned up 577 links.

As I say, my crystal ball was in the shop. So I beg pardon for
answering the question using the most likely interpretations.


(*) though a quick Google found no .mil.uk sites.

 

That applies to country specific sites (dk = denmark, de - Germany, Fr =
France, Au = Australia, but .com, as you said, isn't just US based sites and
anyone from those countries can have a .com. In some cases it is useful,
especially if you have a audience than spans several countries, with one
site hosting the links to individual country specific sites where
applicable.

..gov is US Government, and gov.uk is correctly, UK Government, which is
rather more helpful due to multiple town names which are the same across
different countries, specifically for local government.

and .gov.uk

The thing about the Amazon method, is not whether it is co.uk by default,
but whether it is co.uk for ease of convineance for shoppers. I can go to
www.amazon.com and be redirected (by links) to any of the amazon country
specific sites.

The .com address is of no consequence, as my own e-mail address, BRITISH
TELECOMMUNICATIONS (BTinternet) is obviously not American.

The cross posting is partly justified, but logic should suggest posting to a
UK group, regardless of cross posting, equals region 2 requirement.

In a UK newsgroup, it should only be relevant to ask for region 1.

That's because they are under the ministry of defence, mod.uk

The UK uses .mod.uk (ministry of defence) instead of .mil, and .ac.uk
(academic) instead of .edu, while. .gov.uk is used erratically (e.g.
www.statistics.gov.uk follows the convention, but UK Parliament is
just www.parliament.uk).
