Region 2, of course, extends way beyond our glorious green cliffs of Dover - all the way to Japan, in fact. But it is often not appreciated just how much extra stuff is available right here on our EU doorstep, sitting there ripe for the importing. Here is a guide to the discs available elsewhere in Europe, and where to find some retailers who will sell them for you.
Thanks to those who have helped with this, especially Juanjo Garcia. If you have any more details, titles or retailers you wish to contribute, please e-mail.
