Anyone speak Swedish, Danish, Norwegian or Finnish? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I'm trying to find out some information from European DVD web sites in these languages.

Basically if they ship to the U.S.

Can anyone help?

I've studied Danish, but I'm not quite sure what you mean. First of all, Scandanavian countries are a different region of DVD, I believe they're Region 2 (which unless you have a region-free DVD player you won't be able to watch in the states). If you do have a region-free player then I'd recommend the Danish Amazon, which is at www.amazon.dk

Hi Liza.

I do have a region free player.

That site links right back to Amazon UK and doesn't have the item I'm looking for.

They are releasing that '70s show on sites that are directly linked to those countries I mentioned.

then check out ebay, they sell uk/european DVDs there.

I don't know about those website, but here is a Russian DVD website in English called Russki Cineplex. If you click on a link, and the page happens to be in Russian, just click on the Translate button near the top right of your screen, and it will translate it into English for you.

This website, DVD 100, lists DVDs from region (zone) 1, 2 and 5.

The website is only in Russian unfortunately. But you can type your search in English when searching for a DVD.

Thanks, Jenya.

I checked those sites but they don't carry it.

The Swedish and other sites I can type in English, but after pressing the order button I'm afraid I would be lost.
IF they even ship to the U.S.

I know eventually I can get this on ebay, but I was hoping to avoid being taken for a fortune.
