DVD boxset -which type to buy for ireland

[Shaz]

I have searched for dvd boxsets on play.com. I can see different types i.e region 1 dvd, bluray, etc. Which one will play in dvd players that are bought in ireland?

Thanks.

In general the region code for Europe is 2, see here - [broken link removed] and unless you know someone has a BluRay player, stick with DVD.

You may also see region 0 mentioned, for music DVDs and documentaries. These will play anywhere.

Please note that BluRay DVDs will NOT play in standard DVD players. These are high capacity, high definition discs and will not be recognised by an ordinary DVD player. Only buy these if you know for sure that the person has a BluRay player.
