I think hamtaro means that he doesn`t have to lend out his dvd`s, as they are from a different region, and wont play on the inlaws dvd player, so he doesn`t even have to have an excuse ready like :" I`m watching that tonight", as none of them will play.
I`ve done the same with a good m8 of mine, hes too tight to get his dvd player unlocked to play any region, but wants to borrow my dvd`s all the time, as I have about 120, and he has about 10.
Trouble is, mine are mostly region 1`s, so hes stopped asking now. LOL
Spoony.
