Mad question I know but very important to my son!!
Will his Play Station 2 work in Oz?!!!
Should we take his TV?
If it doesnt work and we buy a new one, will his games work?

Thanks Jane

Yes it will, but it won't play Australian dvds if he likes watching films on it (ours doesn't anyway). 18 months in we have a real mix of games and dvds and often have to try different machines before we can get the right game/dvd/console/player combination right! (You'd never guess there are 3 boys in my house would you ......)

I'm 43. We had four laptops, a router and an external hard drive in our luggage. Now I wish I'd brought the Wii and the PS/2 as well.... I could have given up some clothes to make room.

Cheers

There are numerous places that sell products, the main one called Region X, that allows you to make your player DVD region free. It is something you have to run before playing the DVD (a few seconds) but will stop this problem. Will not cost that much either, and I'm sure you'll easily find it in shops or online....
