Do US DVD's work in the UK? If so you may be able to get them earlier by ordering them when they come out here. I know there are different regions for DVD's though so they may not work there.

Im not sure about that one. I don't know if they are formatted differently. Does anyone else know?

I found this:

DVD Region Codes

 

DVD region codes is a provision in the DVD Specification that requires DVD players to be hard-coded to accept DVDs that is only meant to be played within one of six designated world regions. A Code 1 disc cannot be played in a Code 3 DVD player for example. This technique was developed to enable Hollywood companies to release movies at different times in different regions.

 

DVD regions are defined as:

Region 1 - 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 - 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.)

The article states some DVD players will play any region but you have to have that kind of DVD player for a Region 1 DVD to work in a Region 2 or 3 Player.
