The Sun Ship Game on DVD - December
Hi Martin,
That is a good question. I am not aware of any soaring DVD that has any region restrictions. I've shipped soaring DVDs to customers all around the world with no complaints. Some DVDs (such as "A Fine Week of Soaring" have notes stating that they are "Region 0" for use in any country. I'll ask the manufacturer what country code the DVD will have.

The first copies I bought from SSA were PAL, but I had no idea till my old DVD player that played both PAL and NTSC puked and I bought one that was NTSC only. Unaware of this detail, I was trying to show them on my projector at our annual contest and had an audience but had to leave everyone hanging (till someone spoke up that they happened to have an NTSC copy of Gladiators...) The SSA was very gracious about it and sent me new copies when I told them what happened. -Paul Hanson PS. anyone know if there are any of the extra scenes included on the new Sunship DVD coming out? |

Hi,
As mentioned further down in this thread, Gladiators of the Sky and 1st World Sailplane Grand Prix videos are not region specific, but they are available in both PAL and NTSC versions. Several other soaring DVDs are also available in both PAL and NTSC versions. Some are available in only and NTSC version. But I have customers in Europe that found that the NTSC versions play on their recently made DVD players just fine. Some US DVD players play the PAL format OK, but not all.

Hi Martin,
The manufacturer has given me an answer to your question. The Sun Ship Game DVDs will be "region free" so they will play anywhere in the world. Also, they confirmed that the price will be $29.95.
