I wanted to buy my daughter a new DVD player to take with her when she went away for college. I thought this would be the perfect going-away gift since my daughter was going to film school in Europe. She could not bear not being able to watch her favorite movies whenever she had free time from homework and class.
I went to my local electronic store and found a very nice DVD player that I knew my daughter would love. It had every option on it that was available. I knew she would just love it and could not wait to give it to her.
The week before she left for college, my family had a going-away party for my daughter. The party was great and she received many presents. The only problem was that when she opened up the DVD player I had purchased for her, my cousin pointed out that is was not a Code Free DVD player and could not be used overseas.
I returned the DVD player the next day and asked the sales person if they carried that type of DVD player. The sales person looked confused and had to ask another employee. After a few minutes the sales person came back and told me that the store did not carry any type of DVD player that was able to work overseas, but she did pull me to the side and told me about how I could find this type of product on the internet.
I went home and got on my computer. I could not get over the great selection and that every electronic product that they had to offer, would work in many other countries. After looking at many DVD players, I found the perfect Region Free DVD player for my daughter. What was even better I knew it would work no matter if she were here in the United States or in Europe at film school.
My daughter went off to college overseas and took the new DVD player with her. Apparently she was the only one from the United States in the film program that had a DVD player that worked overseas. Many of her new friends at school did not have DVD players that worked there. My daughter explained to them were she had gotten it and now many of them are now purchasing DVD recorders Region Code Free.
