the dvd of all of roxette’s videos? i saw it on http://www.emimusic.de/cgi-bin/site_search.pl and it is called all videos ever made and more. i am in united states and feel it will again be released in every country but ours. why do distributors continue to shaft the roxette fans here? anyway, i do want to get a copy of the imported version of their latest release and now am interested in any info on the dvd of all roxette videos.

or
or
www.skivhugget.se (its $26.56 there, not sure of their shipping rates)
I just checked amazon.com and they don’t seem to have it.....amazon.co.uk does but I don’t know if they ship to the US.
Hope that helps.

Just do a little google.com search... and put your dvd brand and model and the word region free
or region free dvd
there’s a lot of DVD players that can be made region free with just a combination of numbers pressed from the remote control

I ordered my DVD from amazon.co.uk - and it shipped here to the US. But I can only play it on my computer. :/

ok.... there’s a list of DVD players that can be made to play any region disc.... for example with a “Hitachi DV-P415U” you have to do the next to change the region:
1. Open the players drawer.
2. Press and hold the Enter button on the Remote control.
3. Whilst holding Enter down, press 1 for Region 1, 2 for Region 2 and so on.
4. Release and play a DVD.

Vixzter already mentioned it: the DVD is regionfree (region 0)! So there’s no need to look for a certain regionfree player or make your player regionfree! The problem is the fact that the DVD uses PAL, whereas the USA has NTSC and unless your player can convert PAL to NTSC, you won’t be able to watch it...

My DVD is region free, yes, but in a Sony TV, it was in black and white. I have my DVD in my PC, so i have no problem, but a friend of mine couldnt see it because it was B&W...
And BTW, I bought it from amazon.co.uk, im from Argentina, and I got no problems with the package :)

*Waves* DVD player hacker over here! :D:D:D Yep, I hacked my DVD player... was region 2 only, but is now region free(0-8) and Macro disabled. That is, if it floated my candle... I could copy DVD’s onto video!

I understand what you guys have been going through with the DVD haha.
I bought the Roxette DVD and 7 Queen Videos (very very expensice, Limited Edition haha) this summer. I am in Canada ofcourse and the DVD and Vidoes were bought in England. I have put them beside my other Roxette and Queen goodies and very curious to see what’s in them :)! I pass by them a few times a day saying damn North America we should be different as usual even when it comes to our video/dvd systems. Yup! I haven’t been able to see them yet. It’s sad! Very sad!

EMI USA went belly up and subsequently, promotion of Roxette went with it. Edel America didn’t do them any favours either apparently. It was left up to the fans to do the promotion with HAND. I worked with Lars on NorthAmeriFans, and while that wasn’t the most resounding success, I think it did okay in some states.
As for the DVD *shrugs* I have no idea about that or how to import it either.
