Also what about DVD's bought in UK? Do they have to be region 4 to work in Aussie DVD player?

The salesman did say that if I bought an Aus Region one I could unlock it with the "universal unlock code of L004" but as thats contrary to everything i've read about having to go online and find the right code for the player I took that with a pinch of salt. If I'm wrong and there now IS a universal unlock code I'll go back and get something flasher but for now $29 will do nicely. I've had problems in the past possessing one of very few dvd players that couldn't be unlocked by anyone anywhere.
