Are there any R4 websites selling R2 discs?
Does anyone know of any R4 retailers that sell R2 DVDs? I find that buying from Australia, for example, is much cheaper than buying from Europe (I'm in the U.S.).

But what's wrong with R4. can you play R1 (you're in the us so i assume you can) and R2 but not R4?

SO what you are therefore asking is not whether you can buy R2 DVDs in Australia (no, because that would breach the Copyright Act unless the Australian copyright owner consented) but whether you can buy Hong Kong Legends discs in Oz (the answer is I'm not sure)...
