Got a source for these now! Thanks!
Code Free DVDCheck this out. I didn't really take a look at prices, but I did a search for "how to play region 2 dvd's in the usa" and this came up. Maybe if you search for "region free dvd" you'll find more info.
Good luck. My Melody is super cute.
I'm not sure how old your pc is or if you even have access to a DVD burner, but you could always buy it and then make a copy of it that would play in your dvd player. Or you can invest in a dvd player that plays all regions. I really need to do that! I bought a region 2 DVD from the UK and had to make region free copies using a free program on the net just so I could watch it. The problem with that is that my DVD burner gave me the option of switching from region 1 to region 2 and I took it then it said I was only allowed to switch regions 3 more times...after that, it would stay at whatever region I switched it to...and if it wasn't region 1 I'd have to buy a new burner! So, I'm scared to switch it again, as I had to switch it to region 2 then back, so I'm down to only two switches left!
I was thinking maybe I could find a cheap DVD player for my computer and just switch that to region 2... I'd have to remove something on my computer though, but then I'd be able to play it.
And it looks like I can buy the DVD from Amazon Japan. :)
