region free means it can play any region's dvds.

You can use dvddecrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.com/) to remove Region Coding from the dvd. (you will have to save (make a dvd image) on your computer)
or you can try anydvd (http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html) to remove Region Coding on the fly. It will be like your dvd drive is set for all Regions.

it's to prevent people in the uk and other places from buying movies in teh us and taking them over, cause most are released in the us first...they want controlled coverage. :rolleyes:
