Do video/dvd players brought in NZ play UK videos and dvds? Or would it be better to buy one in the UK and bring over?

Thanks

Hi Dawn,

Welcome to the forum, are you moving soon?

I think most DVD players sold in NZ multi region & therefore you can play DVD's from any region UK, USA & Australia & New Zealand.

We bought our last one about 4 years ago in NZ for about $50 & took it to Cyprus & also Spain & works perfect everywhere.

They are very cheap in NZ (unless buying a recordable DVD) so I would not advise bringing one with you.

cheers,

Anski

The mutli region DVD players do but I'm not sure that NZ Blu Ray players are mutli region. So if you want to watch UK DVDs and Blu Rays you may need to buy both.

Buy them in New Zealand because you'll get the warranties and refunds over there and at least they'll be fitted with the right plug.
