Third Watch On DVD In England

[x635 4,066]

Here's something I want to know.

Why is Third Watch-The Complete First Season, an American show, available in Europe on DVD, but not the US?

I'd love to get this, but apparently I can't watch a "Region 2" DVD on my DVD player at home here in the US. What is up with that?

Amazon explains it here

But I still don't get the point of it...

Oh well, hopefully one day it will be released on DVD here, like the multitude of other shows. I miss it, especially since A&E stopped airing it in the fall.

You should be able to play it on your computer... you "technically" can only change regions I believe 4 or 5 times on a dvd drive in a computer before it becomes "locked" but you can find software online to get past that

If you read the first user review, it appears to indicate that it's available as a 6 season box set in the US. I know its not in stores, thats for damn sure cause i've been looking, and even have amazon set to tell me when it becomes available. However, I do recall seeing it on the net once, I held off buying it for fear of the regional thing. I'll try to find it again. I totally agree, what backwards person invented this region dvd system????

For $148.99, you can get all 6 seasons on 34 DVDs. The best part is that it's a universal region DVD set, meaning that it can play in any DVD player anywhere in the world.

Is this legal? And what is the quality like?

I'm not too sure what the quality is because I haven't bought it yet, but I figured it's worth a shot. Can't be too bad, right?
