Q: Should I bring a DVD player with me or buy one there?
A: DVD players are coded for a single region (usually the region that you bought it in). There are no true multi-region models. If you buy one here, you can take it to another country where they will decode it to allow you to play DVD's from all regions. It might be possible to decode a machine that newcomers bring with them, but local technicians may not be familiar with those models nor have the codes to decode them.
