Can a DVD bought from Australia work in an American DVD player

Can a DVD bought from Australia work in an American DVD player?
I want to buy the season DVD of "We Can Be Heroes" which is a sitcom in Australia (it is only available in Australia), but i do not know if the DVD will work in an American DVD player. My friend says it should work on any computer...? Ideas/suggsestions.

Every commercial DVD and DVD player are coded with one or more 'regions'. Australian DVDs are typically coded with region 4 (same as Mexico). North American DVD players are coded with region 1. In general, if the region code on the disc does not match the region code on the player, it will not allow you to play the disc. However, some DVD players have a special code that allows you to change the built-in region code, and if you're lucky there may also be an 'unlock' code that makes your player region-free (i.e. plays discs from any region). Some DVD players come region-free out of the box, but this is rare. Some players (especially computer DVD drives) will restrict the number of times you can switch the region code (e.g. 4 or 5 times), after that, the drive will be permanently locked to the last setting. Note that some DVDs may be multi-region encoded. For example, many DVDs in Mexico are encoded with both region 1 and region 4 because many people import DVD players from the United States that are region 1. If for example you go to a Mexican Blockbuster Video, every DVD will have a sticker in the corner saying whether it is region 4 or dual region 1/4. Likewise, some Australian discs may be encoded with both region 1 and 4, but this is not as likely. Edit: I forgot to mention that Australian DVDs are formatted with PAL video whereas North American DVDs are formatted with NTSC video. Many North American players can play PAL discs, but not all can, so this is also something to think about.

Go to http://www.immi.gov.au/ This is the official Australian Govt site with info for immigration/working there etc.

With no experience, no job and probably no qualifications, you are unlikely to succeed. SKILLED workers are in demand in Australia, not clueless teenagers who dont have a clue what they want to do in life. I strongly suggest you go back to school and get a degree and some work experience. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/index.htm This programme, also known as the General Skilled Migration programme, is for people who are not sponsored by an employer and who have skills in particular occupations required in Australia. Applicants must be over 18 and under 45 years of age, with good English language ability, and recent skilled work experience or a recently completed eligible Australian qualification. http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/index.htm For lawfully operating Australian and overseas employers to sponsor and employ skilled workers who have recognised qualifications and skills/or experience in particular occupations required in Australia. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1121i.pdf PDF list of skills in demand for Australia. If you dont have any of these skills, you cannot emigrate.

Yes it does, unlike PS2 games, you can play games from any origin on the psp, I happen to have a Japanese Psp which i bought from Japan and I can still manage to play both Australian, American, and Japanese imported games.
