Are the DVDs actually Region Free?

To my knowledge, the complete series of "Daria" ia availble on DVD in Region 1 and Region 4. I live in the UK - Region 2 territory - but have read on quite a few different sites that one, or both, of these releases is actually Region Free despite the fact they're not marked as such.

I was just wondering if anyone on here could vouch for this? I would love to own the series, and am currently without a Region Free DVD player as the one I had died haha!

I have the USA print because i'm in the US and it's region 1

i can't speak on the Australian Market. I think that's where region 4 is

I believe they are marked as such, but supposedly one or both versions actually work on any regional DVD player.

Thank you for answering, regardless.

Thank you! I had given up hope a Region 2 release would happen. That listing has been on Amazon for a couple of years now; I even submitted my e-mail address to be alerted when it was available and had forgotten about it. "Daria" was repeated for a while around 2012/2013 (I think) on our UK MTV channel, which is the first time I saw it. It had another brief run on a different channel shortly after, but it hasn't aired our side of the pond since.

2018, though... I noticed from that link that season one has been released officially on Amazon UK earlier this year. Little point in that when an entire series boxset is available. Unless you only want specific seasons, I guess.

I think I'll continue investigating the redion coding on the already available ones. You can get the Complete Series boxset (R1 or 4) new on eBay for around £17/18 which is a bargain.
