The Hut have the 18 DVD Discovery Channel Adventure Collection for £16.94 Shipped. This includes Born Survivor series 2, Deadliest Catch series 3, Worlds Lost Tribes and Everest Series 2: The Deadliest Climb. Not a bad deal if you like these sorts of shows.
This is a region 2 DVD set so you may need a multi-region dvd player, although many dvd players have a code you can enter to convert it to a multi-region player.
This is not true. Region 2 and 4 are the exact same. You do not need a multi region player for R2 DVDs. This also applies to games and blu ray.
Some titles are Region 2+4, but a region 2 DVD will not play on a region locked, Region 4 player. All good if region free, or selectable region.
True for most games and blu-ray, but not DVDs. Region 2 won't play on an Australian player unless it is a multi-region player.
However, that being said, there are a fair few UK discs that are both R2 & R4 (BBC titles, Universal Pictures titles), as both countries are PAL, and it saves the cost of re-authoring the disc for each region.
Edit - bah, Steptoe beat me to it by a few minutes :)
Exactly Mr Devil, there seems to be some confusion between blu-ray regions and dvd regions going on.
Blu-Ray = Australia in Region B, same region as the UK.
Most Blu-Ray players in Australia are locked to Region B, so cannot play Region A discs from the US.
DVD = Australia is in Region 4, UK is in Region 2.
A lot of DVD players in Australia are multi-region, and can play both Region 2 and 4. If it is locked, it is locked to Region 4, and cannot play Region 2 discs.
BTW This is a different set from the 3 DVD Discovery Channel Adventure Collection sets (the artwork is very similar, but they are listed as having 3 DVDs not 18, and there is a "3 DVD" sign on the box). Those offers only contain a single "Introduction" disc for each series. This set has the full seasons of each series, and has 18 DVD's.
Also from ZAVVI, but cheaper postage if you buy more than one item together.

Region 2 DVDs wont play in a lot of Australian DVD players unless they are multi region players.
