Australia is region 4, USA and Canada are region 1, I want to buy some TV series on DVD which are 10x cheaper in region 1 format, if I spend $30 on a multi-region DVD player will I be able to watch region 1 DVDs on it? I assume it should work since it's called a multi-region DVD player but I can totally imagine that after I buy one I'll find out it doesn't bloody work or something.

Answer
More than likely such a player will ignore region altogether, and convert the video format on the disc to your TV format.

The only real issue is getting US based DVD vendors to ship to Australia at all.

does anyone know what store I can buy a region 2 DVD plalyer or a multi region DVD player?

I bought "shaun the sheep" DVD from amazon.com and didn't know it was regions specific so turns out it is a Region 2 DVD and only works for the UK. I can't return it because it's been opened. Does anyone know what store carries a region 2 DVD player or a multi region DVD player?

Answer
You can buy various brands of Multi Region DVD players from Amazon.com
