    I haven't had a DVD player for years but can play them on TV via a PlayStation

    A DVD I would like to get is only available on Region 1 - Would this play on a UK PlayStation?

    Alternatively, I have a DVD player on my PC which I think I can change regions on, if I change this to 1 (USA) would I be able to watch the DVD?

    I would buy the DVD with US region lock and use your computer to convert it to mp4 and add that to your PlayStation library.

    Might be pushing copyright a bit but for personal use should be fine.

    Most PlayStation are Region locked for movies but not games.

    I'm surprised you can't buy a digital version / download. In today's world a copy right system from 1997 makes in today's streaming world no sense at all.

    It's a Hallmark Christmas movie.

    Only ever seen it on TV once in about 15 years.

    Scan through the Christmas24 movies every year but not seen it since :( and only seems to be available from USA where delivery fees are more than the actual DVD
