Nice spotted though.

You can always read the Dilbert comic. It lives on, and it will continue to live on.

Oh, screw getting R1 DVDs! Crack your DVD drive and get R2 - or just find a region-free DVD drive.

Or just buy a region-free DVD player. I got one for less than 80 dollar (region free, built-in PAL-NTSC converter) in a hardware store (the one with tools, nails, plywood and paint).

Gocad: One of my computers came with a region-free DVD-ROM drive. Strange, I agree. But they're out there. <cough> http://www.firmware.fr.st</cough>

But they're out there. <cough>http://www.firmware.fr.st</cough> Then it must be a rather old Drive, because the regionfree RPC-1 Drives are no longer produced. Newer Drives have their own Region counter. These Drives are known as RPC-2 Drives. Early RPC-2 Drives could be flashed, as SQFreak indicated *cough*, however the Drives that are produced nowadays can't be flashed anymore in order to make them RC free. @The Bender: You can find out what kind of DVD Drive you have by using a program called <cough>DVD Genie<cough>. It's a useable tool to override the RC counter in your DVD player software. It also has DVD Drive detection feature. two RC counters: 1. Software counter - DVD Player Software 2. Hardware counter - DVD Drive RPC-2 only

My 8-month-old laptop is flashable. I haven't done it, but I've found the proper firmware. Ones that you can't make region-free have to be ones that aren't flashable at all. I wouldn't want one of those anyway. That means if a feature is broken in the initial implementation or there's a bug in the code, you're screwed.
Just to see what would happen, I put my R2S1D1 DVD into my Pioneer DV-333 R1 perma-locked TV DVD player. It said in a font that it doesn't ever use, in a position where it usually doesn't put messages (upper right - it uses the upper left for the "Play", "Stop", "Resume", "Pause", etc.), "Wrong region no." and promptly ejected the tray. So it's not like it will ruin your standalone - worth a try if you don't know if your standalone is locked or not.
