    I believe that region 2 is Japan Mike.


    SxViper is right.
    It explains the region code of DVD to make sure though it is thought what you know.
    From Wikipedia, DVD discs may be encoded with a region code restricting the area of the world in which they can be played.
    The commercial DVD player specification requires that a player to be sold in a given place not play discs encoded for a different region.
    the purpose of this is to allow motion pictures studios to control aspects
    of a release,including content,release date,and,especially,price,according to the region.
    region code 1s area is U.S. territories,Canada ,Bermuda.
    and code 2 's area is Western and central Europe and Japan,U.K. French.
    But, about Blu-ray Disc is different.
    In region for Blu-ray standard,area of region A is America and East Asia.
    Happily Japan and U.S.A. has the same code. waoh,Idon't have Blu-ray disc.:cry2:

    Hello Hondo
    Happily,DVD of "Circus World" and "The Barbarian and The Geisha" has
    been already released in Japan. ofcourse I bought them.
    I guess these DVD(Region 1)also released in USA.
    For me to hope most now is release of "the Wings of Eagles"DVD
    (Region2)in Japan early.

    Thank you for your information.
    Hondo, Island in the Sky and McLintock were also released in Japan
    but un-official (not major brand).

    I hope The High and Mighty,Jet Piilot,The Wings of Eagles DVD
    coming up soon in Japan.

    Best Regards,
