going to buy cod mini series

[Vanguard3000]

Australia (and I suppose all of Oceania) is region four.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

that makes sense. But what about region 3?

[Vanguard3000]

I'm guessing most of Asia is region three.

I know the regions now...don't remember them though

I got the mini series from amazon now, haven't watched it though because I haven't finished the book yet. but I only got 50 pages left so I will soon watch it

Actually, there are 9 DVD regions:

Region 0 - Universal

Region 1 - U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories

Region 2 - Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)

Region 3 - Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)

Region 4 - Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean

Region 5 - Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia

Region 6 - Peoples Republic of China

Region 7 - Reserved

Region 8 - Special international venues (airplanes, cruise ships, etc.)

Region 0 - which is region-free - can be played on any DVD player. When you "unlock" a DVD drive, you basically hardwire it to read all DVDs as region 0. The original purpose (as explained by the multibillionaire corporations) was that DVD regions would help facilitate releasing Hollywood movies at different times in different regions.

But by far the easiest solution for the consumer is to ignore those silly regions and shell out for a legal, region-free DVD player. :]

Still waiting for a chance to sample the CoD miniseries before shelling out for the DVD (and even then, I'll probably wait for the SE). No sci-fi channel for me :[
